"2026 Winter Olympics is off to a flying start for Team LGBTQ+ after two queer athletes have already won gold. Sunday (8 February) was a good day for LGBTQ+ sports fans after American skier Breezy Johnson made history over the weekend after winning the women's downhill alpine skiing race. The triumphant win cemented the bisexual competitor in the history books as the first out LGBTQ+ athlete to win gold at the Milan Winter Olympics."
""I just did not feel wonderful, like even in the warm-ups," she said. "My leg was just sore, and it's not an injury, it's nothing that we need to worry about. It's just something that I need that rest and recovery time." Her recovery was enough to place Team USA and, indeed, Team LGBTQ+, in the run-up to the gold medal position, which they eventually won."
Two out LGBTQ+ athletes claimed gold at the 2026 Milan Winter Olympics: bisexual American skier Breezy Johnson won the women's downhill, and pansexual figure skater Amber Glenn won gold in the team figure skating event. Over 41 out LGBTQ+ athletes represented 13 countries, the largest Winter Olympics LGBTQ+ roster. Outsports is tracking each competitor's performance across nine events as part of its "Team LGBTQ+" campaign highlighting representation. Amber Glenn said she initially felt disappointed after placing third in the women's free skate because of leg soreness that required rest and recovery. Breezy Johnson said she knew she had to push harder in her downhill race.
