"The Olympic engagement is a time-honored tradition. Last Games, French athlete Alice Finot broke a steeplechase record then proposed to her boyfriend. This time, in Italy, American skiing star Breezy Johnson got engaged at the finish line after her super-G race. Her boyfriend, Connor Watkins, got on one knee and presented a box etched with a quote from Taylor Swift's song "The Alchemy," holding a silver ring with a bright-blue gemstone. Johnson accepted."
"Johnson told NBC that she wasn't fully surprised that Watkins proposed, because she "may have told him that I just always kind of had the dream of getting engaged at the Olympics." Watkins added that he was "really hoping that I could get in the finish area and do it the way I wanted. And it turned out we could, and we're just super-excited." The ring isn't the only piece of jewelry that Johnson picked up at the Milano Cortina Games."
Breezy Johnson got engaged at the Milano Cortina finish line immediately after a super-G race when boyfriend Connor Watkins knelt and presented a box etched with a quote from Taylor Swift's song "The Alchemy," containing a silver ring with a bright-blue gemstone. Johnson accepted the proposal. She said she wasn't fully surprised because she had always dreamed of getting engaged at the Olympics. Watkins said he hoped to propose in the finish area and that they were "super-excited." Johnson had won the women's downhill gold four days earlier. She crashed during the super-G and did not finish that run, but the day ended happily.
