Johnson Wins Gold, Vonn Crashes Out in Olympics

American skier Breezy Johnson won Team USA's first gold medal of the Milano Cortina Winter Games in the women's downhill race on Saturday, a victory overshadowed by teammate Lindsey Vonn's dramatic crash and injury. Vonn, who had come out of retirement to compete, crashed early in her run and was airlifted from the course.

Johnson, 30, completed her run in 1:36.10, securing her first-ever Olympic medal, according to CBS News. Emma Aicher of Germany and Sofia Goggia of Italy rounded out the podium. Vonn, 41, crashed just seconds into her run, losing control over the opening traverse after cutting the line too tightly, as reported by ABC News. She was heard screaming out after the crash and was attended to by medical personnel before being taken away by helicopter.

Vonn had decided to compete despite rupturing her left ACL in a prior crash during a World Cup event a week before the Games, according to CBS News. She had confirmed the ACL rupture but felt confident she could still complete the race with the help of a knee brace. However, she lost control after appearing to clip a flag marking the side of the course, CBS News reported. The race was put on hold while she received treatment.

In other news, anticipation is building for Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show performance. "One thing about Bad Bunny is that he is a master at the art of surprise," Petra Rivera-Rideau, an associate professor of American studies at Wellesley College, told CBS News. Some believe he may use the performance to send a political message.

Meanwhile, "Today" show host Savannah Guthrie and her siblings released a video pleading for the return of their missing mother, Nancy Guthrie, who was last seen on January 31. "We received your message and we understand," Guthrie said in the video, according to ABC News. "We beg you now to return our mother to us so we can celebrate with her. This is the only way we will have peace. This is very valuable to us, and we will pay."
