Johnson misses a medal but gets a ring and a fiance
Olympic downhill champion Breezy Johnson ended up with an engagement ring instead of a medal on Thursday after crashing out of the women’s super-G at the Milano Cortina Games and then saying yes to her fiance.
The American skier’s boyfriend Connor Watkins went down on one knee in the snow at the finish area to make the proposal and present the sapphire and gold ring.
“I had told him that I always dreamed of getting proposed to at the Olympics so I had an inkling,” Johnson, who won her gold on Sunday, told reporters.
