美国滑雪选手布里齐·约翰逊告诉CBS新闻，周六在意大利举行的2026年冬季奥运会女子速降项目中，她赢得的金牌在破损后已被修复，她现在正小心翼翼地对待这枚替换金牌。
“我想是因为金牌太重了，绶带根本挂不住，”约翰逊说，她称奥运奖牌获得者必须小心翼翼地庆祝，不能过于热情，这“有点令人失望”，因为“这是所有人都想做的事”。
约翰逊表示，最初她被告知无法取回原金牌，但现在它已经修复，她计划保留原金牌，而替换金牌则打算用来交易。她还计划编织一个特别的小袋子来妥善存放原金牌。
“我是个狂热的编织爱好者，”约翰逊周三告诉CBS新闻记者塞思·多恩，“我每次比赛都会织一顶新帽子或发带。这对我来说是个很大的迷信。”
她只在相应的比赛中佩戴一次这些手工编织的比赛配饰，之后就会收起来不再使用。
“它们在我的包里越堆越多，但我一直想把其中一些拍卖掉，让人们购买并将所得捐赠给慈善机构，”她说，“我对这些东西也没别的用处了。”

当被问及在奥运会的政治争议背景下，她对代表美国参赛的看法时，约翰逊不愿就此展开讨论。
“有很多政治言论。我个人更愿意专注于滑雪本身。我个人不认为有人会因为某个名人或某人的言论而改变政治立场。所以，我个人更愿意专注于滑雪，并将我赚的钱捐赠给我认为真正在做我支持的工作的慈善机构。”
尽管约翰逊在意大利为美国队赢得了首枚金牌，但2026年米兰-科尔蒂纳冬奥会对她来说并非全是成功。
周二，她与队友米凯拉·希夫林搭档参加团体回转项目，未能登上领奖台。比赛结束后，可以看到约翰逊与希夫林交谈，似乎在给她打气。
“我说，‘我知道你已经尽力了，一切都会好起来的’，”约翰逊在谈及这次私下交谈时告诉CBS新闻。“我不会因此责怪任何人，因为我了解这项运动。有太多的变数，昨天也有变数。它们不一定对我们有利，但我们都全力以赴了，结果不尽如人意，但没关系。”
约翰逊表示，她通常很擅长应对在最高水平赛事中竞争的压力——她明白，这样的比赛和如此极端的速度都伴随着极大的危险。
周六，美国队的林赛·沃恩在速降比赛中摔倒受伤，而约翰逊随后赢得了金牌。约翰逊说，这位41岁的世界冠军队友给她发了短信。
“她说，‘恭喜你’，”约翰逊说，“你知道，我知道她正在经历的事情很艰难，我认为她承受了很多。所以，我们还没有通过电话之类的方式交谈，但我祝她一切顺利。”
约翰逊说，她也理解是什么驱使沃恩在ACL（前交叉韧带）断裂一周后仍参加这些比赛。
“让你心碎的部分原因是，你习惯了克服困难。你习惯了书写童话般的结局。但现实是，这些事情之所以被拍成电影，是因为它们太不可思议了。不幸的是，事情并不总是像电影里那样。”
“很难理解是什么促使人们这样做，但当你做得很好时，那种感觉非常不可思议，”约翰逊补充道，观众也能感受到这种刺激：“这就像是冰上的一级方程式赛车，还带着巨大的‘冰刀’。谁不想看呢？”

U.S. Olympic skier Breezy Johnson has plans for her broken and repaired gold medal
February 11, 2026 / 3:46 PM EST / CBS News
American skier Breezy Johnson told CBS News she’s been treating her replacement gold medal with care after the original, which she won in the women’s downhill event at the 2026 Winter Games in Italy on Saturday, broke.
“I think that because they were so heavy, the ribbons couldn’t really hold them,” Johnson said, calling it “a little disappointing” that Olympic medal winners had to be careful about celebrating too enthusiastically, as it’s “all anybody wants to do.”
Johnson said she was initially told she wouldn’t get her original medal back, but it has been fixed, and she plans to keep it and trade in the replacement. She also plans to knit a special pouch to keep it safe.
“I am an avid knitter,” Johnson told CBS News correspondent Seth Doane on Wednesday. “I knit a new hat or headband for every race. It’s a big superstition of mine.”
She only wears her special handknit race accessories once, for their respective race, after which they are retired.
“They’re piling up in my bags, but I’ve been wanting for a long time to, like, auction some of them off and, like, have people buy them and donate the proceeds to charity,” she said. “I don’t have anything else to do with them.”

Asked about her views on representing the United States, given political debate around the Games, Johnson declined to go down that slope.
“There’s been a lot of rhetoric. I personally prefer to focus on my skiing. I personally don’t know anybody who has changed their political affiliation because of something that any celebrity or person said. So, I personally prefer to focus on my skiing and donate the money that I make to charities that I feel are actually doing the work that I support.”
Despite winning the first gold medal for Team USA in Italy, the Milano-Cortina Winter Games haven’t been a total success story for Johnson.
She failed to make the podium after skiing with teammate Mikaela Shiffrin in the team slalom event Tuesday. After the race, Johnson could be seen speaking with Shiffrin, delivering what looked like a pep talk.
“I said, ‘I know you tried your best and it’s gonna be OK,’” Johnson told CBS News of the private chat. “I don’t, like, hold any of that against anyone because I know this sport. There’s so many variables, and there were variables yesterday, too. They weren’t necessarily in our favor, and we went out and we both gave it our all, and it didn’t happen, but that’s OK.”
Johnson said she’s generally pretty good at coping with the pressure of competing at the highest level of her sport — and she understands that such competition, and such extreme speeds, come with extreme danger.
After Team USA’s Lindsay Vonn was injured in a fall in the downhill race Saturday, which Johnson went on to win, she said her 41-year-old world champion teammate texted her.
“She said, ‘congratulations,’” Johnson said. “You know, I know what she’s going through is hard, and I think she’s dealing with a lot. So, we haven’t spoken, like, on the phone or anything, but I wish her the best.”
Johnson said she also understands what drove Vonn to compete in these Games just a week after rupturing her ACL.
“Part of what breaks your heart is that you’re used to defying the odds. You’re used to writing fairytale endings. And the reality is that those things get made into movies because they’re so unlikely. And unfortunately, you can’t always — it’s not always like the movies,” she said.
“It’s difficult to understand what moves people to do it, but when you’re doing it well, it’s a pretty incredible feeling,” Johnson said, adding that spectators can share in the rush: “It’s Formula One on ice with giant knives. Who doesn’t want to watch that?”
