美国高山速降滑雪选手布里齐·约翰逊在2026年米兰-科尔蒂纳冬奥会上以一枚金牌、一位未婚夫和泰勒·斯威夫特的祝福结束了她的比赛征程。
在接受CBS新闻采访时,约翰逊表示,职业运动员的生活有时会与个人生活产生冲突,但在米兰-科尔蒂纳冬奥会期间,这两条道路在她的男友康纳· Watkins在她最后一场比赛的终点线单膝跪地求婚之后合二为一。
“我一直觉得在奥运会上订婚会很有趣,”约翰逊说。

奥运爱情故事
Watkins回忆道,约翰逊在2024年曾给他一个微妙的暗示,提醒他如果认真对待这段关系——奥运会还有两年时间。虽然两人都知道彼此心意相通,但本周的求婚仍然让约翰逊感到意外。
这位30岁的选手上周在女子速降项目中获得了她的首枚奥运金牌,但在周四的女子超级大回转比赛中意外出局。当Watkins邀请她到终点线见面时,她并没有抱太大期望。
“我当时想’大家都会离开,我会独自一人留在这里’……然后他单膝跪地,我才反应过来,’哦’,”约翰逊说,”他的话语让我开始哭泣。”

当被问及他对约翰逊说了什么时,Watkins深情地念道:”布里齐·诺布尔·约翰逊,你付出了巨大努力,取得了如此多成就,却仍有时间让我感到特别,让我感受到爱。最重要的是,你让我懂得了爱自己是什么感觉,而现在我想与你共度余生。”
泰勒·斯威夫特的祝贺
作为一个公认的计划控,Watkins表示他自去年8月就准备了戒指。他告诉CBS新闻,他在一位朋友的指导下与珠宝设计师合作,打造了这枚由蓝宝石、白色蓝宝石和白金戒指组成的订婚戒指。
他还定制了一个木制首饰盒,上面刻着”说实话,我们凭什么抗拒炼金术?”——这是泰勒·斯威夫特歌曲《The Alchemy》中的歌词,在这首歌中,歌手似乎在提及她的未婚夫特拉维斯·凯尔西。
“这首歌真的引起了我的共鸣,”约翰逊说,”没有什么比与心爱的人分享胜利更美好的感觉了,而不是独自享受胜利。”

当斯威夫特在Instagram上向她表示祝贺时,约翰逊说:”我简直激动得不行。”
“米凯拉·希夫林也在现场,”约翰逊回忆起她和美国队队友、有史以来最具成就的高山滑雪运动员希夫林看到斯威夫特关于订婚的评论时的情景,”我能看出希夫林当时的表情是’我这辈子从未如此嫉妒布里齐’。”
布里齐·约翰逊的情人节与婚礼计划
这对情侣表示,他们的情人节计划很”低调”,原计划观看好友阿维塔尔·卡罗尔参加女子自由式滑雪双项障碍赛。
卡罗尔是一位出生于美国的滑雪运动员,现在代表奥地利参赛,她帮助Watkins设计了订婚戒指。
当被问及婚礼筹备时,Watkins表示还有很多决定需要做出。
“我们需要决定是举办盛大婚礼还是小型婚礼,”他说,”我们讨论过滑雪主题婚礼,也考虑过目的地婚礼……我们得确定最终想要哪种形式。”
Breezy Johnson on her Olympic love story and sharing the gold medal win with loved ones

U.S. downhill skier Breezy Johnson is ending her run at the 2026 Winter Olympics with a gold medal, a fiancé and a message from Taylor Swift.
In an interview with CBS News, Johnson says the life of a professional athlete can sometimes be at odds with her personal life, but at Milano Cortina, the two paths became one after her boyfriend Connor Watkins got down on one knee at the finish line of her final race.
“I had just always had this like thing in the back of my head that was like ‘it’d be fun to get engaged at the Olympics,’” Johnson said.

An Olympic love story
Watkins recalled Johnson giving him a subtle hint in 2024, in which she reminded him that if he’s serious about their relationship — the Olympics are two years away. While the two knew they were on the same page, the proposal this week still came as a surprise to Johnson.
The 30-year-old picked up her first Olympic gold in the women’s downhill event last week, but she crashed out of contention in the women’s Super-G on Thursday. She wasn’t expecting much when Watkins asked her to meet by the finish line.
“I was like ‘Man, everybody’s gonna leave. I’m gonna be here all alone’…And then he got down on one knee and I was like, ‘Oh,’” Johnson said. “He just…his words, and I just started crying.”

When asked about what he said to Johnson, Watkins recited: “Breezy Noble Johnson, you worked so hard and achieved so much, yet you still find the time to make me feel special. Make me feel love. And most importantly, take the time to help me love myself. And now that i know what that feels like, I want to spend the rest of my life with you by my side.”
A congratulations from Taylor Swift
Watkins, a self-acknowledged planner, said he had the ring since August, telling CBS News he worked with a jeweler with a guidance from a friend to create the sapphire and white sapphire engagement ring with a white gold band.
He also had a wooden jewelry box made, engraved with “Honestly, who are we to fight the alchemy?” — lyrics from a Taylor Swift song, “The Alchemy,” in which the singer appears to reference her fiancé Travis Kelce.
“That song really resonated with me,” Johnson said. “There’s really no better feeling than not the winning, but the getting to share that winning with the people that you love.”

When Swift congratulated her on Instagram, Johnson said, “I just lost it.”
“Mikaela Shiffrin was there,” Johnson recalled the moment she and her Team USA colleague, the most decorated alpine skier ever, saw Swift’s comment on the engagement. “And I could tell Shiffrin was like ‘I’ve never been so jealous of Breezy in my life.’”
Breezy Johnson’s Valentine’s Day and wedding plan
The couple says they were keeping Valentine’s Day pretty “low key,” but they had plans to watch their good friend Avital Carroll compete in women’s dual moguls.
Carroll, an American-born skier who now competes for Austria, helped Watkins designed the engagement ring.
When asked about the wedding planning, Watkins said there’s still a lot of decisions to be made.
“We’ve got to figure out if we want a big or a small wedding,” he said. “We’ve talked about a ski wedding. We’ve talked a destination…We gotta figure out what we want.”
