Breezy on winning team combined gold with Mikaela:"It's pretty crazy. It's super nerve l-wracking being Mikaela's teammate cause she's such a legend. If we keep adding team events, maybe we can get her 32 (medals) or something." @MikaelaShiffrin's 15th WChamps medal.

@MikaelaShiffrin on winning gold ๐ฅ with Breezy:"So many things had to happen since we were 11 for this to happen. We needed a new event, entirely. For me, up there it was nerve wracking because Breezy did her job spectacularly this morning. It was an amazing day." @usskiteam

Skiing the Tofane Schuss today was by no means perfect, but with a touch of fresh snow, as Larry David would say..it was still pretty, pretty, pretty good! Rarely do the Dolomites disappoint. Be sure to catch the NBC Today Show LIVE from Milan on Wednesday.. @NBCOlympics

Calling it 'Lucky 24.' The performance of Franjo Von Allmen's career, winning world championship downhill gold๐ฅ The 23yr-old Swiss missed Jr. world champs gold in Canada, in 2022, settling for silver. He lost by 0.24 secs. Today, he won by 0.24 secs! Well done! ๐ #switzerland

Thank goodness a Swiss skier didn't win on Austrian snow at Innsbruck 1976!Trying to confirm rumors that "The Kaiser" is going to throw on the yellow suit and red helmet, and head up top to take today's downhill on home snow away from those pesky Swiss! ๐ฆ๐น ๐ช #austria

It was just over 2 years ago that @_BreezyJohnson opened up about not only her ski injuries, but also her bisexuality and strong support of the LQBTQ community. She told me that she wanted to be the fastest downhill skier & to "Be Me" @TeamUSA

Franz Klammer didn't look too impressed by Bryce Bennett's super-G run. Don't worry big guy, the Kaiser ๐ ๐ฆ๐น is a tough one to impress! You'll get em' in the downhill! @usskiteam @saalbach2025
