Olympic champion Breezy Johnson finishes downhill season on World Cup podium
Olympic champion Breezy Johnson finished third in the World Cup season downhill standings, a career best
Olympic champion Breezy Johnson finished the downhill season on the podium. Johnson was second in the downhill at the World Cup finals on Saturday, March 21, just 0. 15 seconds behind Italy's Laura Pirovano.
It was her second podium finish of the World Cup season, following a bronze medal earlier this month. The result moved Johnson up to third in the season downhill standings, a career best. She finished all but one race in the top 10, and was in the top five in the four downhills since winning gold in the discipline at the Milano Cortina Olympics .
Lindsey Vonn finished fifth in the season standings despite not skiing in the last four races following her devastating crash at the Olympics. Vonn had taken a big lead into the Games, having been on the podium in each of the first five races, including two wins. Skiing to a World Cup podium and her best downhill rank ever (!!
