BIOGRAPHY Johnson is really crossing her fingers to qualify for the Olympics this year. She is ready to return to the Olympic hill after falling in last season’s Olympic downhill test event. She had some impressive training run results on the Olympic track. At World Cup Finals in Aspen, Breezy took a rather spectacular fall, doing the splits and then somersaulting near the bottom of the course, but she’s back, feeling great, and ready to go for the 2018 season!
