Breezy Johnson’s social media post captured a moment more than her mood: “Sometimes you reach the top of the hill, only to realize there is a mountain beyond.”
"Hang in there," the American ski racer's supporters commented. "The view will be spectacular," they offered.
The truth: Johnson was crestfallen after tearing the PCL and MCL ligaments in her left knee following a June training wipeout.
She was just back on the snow, too, after sitting out all last season with a torn right ACL .
So Johnson and her medical team devised an eight-step plan to get her back in the start gate by as early as late January.
