"Breezy Johnson delivered a breakthrough performance on Saturday, January 31, claiming the first Super-G podium of her career with a third-place finish in Crans-Montana, Switzerland. The Super-G went off without a hitch after Friday's cancelled downhill, which saw three of the first six starters, including Lindsey Vonn crash."
"Switzerland's Malorie Blanc thrilled the home crowd with a commanding run to take her first World Cup victory, while Italy's Sofia Goggia finished second, just fractions of a second back, cementing her legacy as the Queen of Speed ahead of the home Olympics. Johnson completed the podium, skiing with control and confidence in bib 29 at a stage of the race where most thought the podium was determined."
""I respect super-G so much-I think it's the hardest event. I've always wanted to be good at it, but I did not expect to get there today. And I did not expect that run to be what got me to the podium, but I am happy." - Breezy Johnson"
