In a moment that reminded Americans what real patriotism looks like, Team USA downhill skier Breezy Johnson was overcome with emotion as the Star-Spangled Banner played following her HISTORIC gold medal victory in women's downhill skiing.

Johnson's tearful display during our national anthem stands in stark contrast to the anti-American athletes we've been forced to watch in recent years. While woke sports figures have spent the last decade kneeling, protesting, and disrespecting our flag, Johnson showed the world what it means to be a proud American.

The victory marks Team USA's first gold medal of the competition, and Johnson's emotional reaction proves that there are still athletes who understand what an honor it is to represent the greatest nation on earth. As tears streamed down her face during the anthem, Johnson embodied the spirit that President Trump has been working to restore in American athletics.

"This is what happens when athletes remember they're representing America, not pushing a political agenda," said one patriotic American on social media.

Johnson's triumph comes at a perfect time for the Trump-Vance administration's efforts to restore pride in American excellence. After years of watching entitled athletes trash our country while collecting paychecks, it's refreshing to see someone who actually appreciates the privilege of wearing USA across their chest.

The downhill skiing victory required incredible skill, determination, and the kind of fighting spirit that built this nation. Johnson didn't just win a race – she reminded the world that American athletes can compete with pride instead of grievance.

While the legacy media will probably focus on the technical aspects of the race, patriotic Americans know the real story: this is what happens when you put America First instead of woke politics. Johnson's tears weren't for show – they were the genuine emotion of someone who understands what it means to make their country proud.

How refreshing is it to finally see an American athlete who's proud to be American? Maybe this is the beginning of a new era where our Olympians remember who they're really competing for.

As a former Marine, seeing her emotional reaction to our anthem brought tears to my eyes too. My daughter is about her age and I hope she grows up with that same love of country.

This is exactly what we need to teach our young athletes - compete with pride for your country. Breezy Johnson is a role model for the next generation.
