She also plans to knit a special pouch to keep it safe.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I am an avid knitter,&#8221; Johnson told CBS News correspondent Seth Doane on Wednesday. &#8220;I knit a new hat or headband for every race.

I personally prefer to focus on my skiing. I personally don&#8217;t know anybody who has changed their political affiliation because of something that any celebrity or person said. So, I personally prefer to focus on my skiing and donate the money that I make to charities that I feel are actually doing the work that I support.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Despite winning the first <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/olympic-medal-count-2026-winter-games\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">gold medal for Team USA<\/a><\/span> in Italy, the Milano-Cortina Winter Games haven&#8217;t been a total success story for Johnson.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>She failed to make the podium after skiing with teammate Mikaela Shiffrin in the team slalom event Tuesday. After the race, Johnson could be seen speaking with Shiffrin, delivering what looked like a pep talk.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I said, &#8216;I know you tried your best and it&#8217;s gonna be OK,'&#8221; Johnson told CBS News of the private chat. &#8220;I don&#8217;t, like, hold any of that against anyone because I know this sport. There&#8217;s so many variables, and there were variables yesterday, too. They weren&#8217;t necessarily in our favor, and we went out and we both gave it our all, and it didn&#8217;t happen, but that&#8217;s OK.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Johnson said she&#8217;s generally pretty good at coping with the pressure of competing at the highest level of her sport \u2014 and she understands that such competition, and such extreme speeds, come with extreme danger.<\/p>\n<p>After Team USA&#8217;s Lindsay Vonn was injured in a fall in the downhill race Saturday, which Johnson went on to win, she said her 41-year-old world champion teammate texted her.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;She said, &#8216;congratulations,'&#8221; Johnson said. &#8220;You know, I know what she&#8217;s going through is hard, and I think she&#8217;s dealing with a lot. So, we haven&#8217;t spoken, like, on the phone or anything, but I wish her the best.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Johnson said she also understands what drove Vonn to compete in these Games just a week after rupturing her ACL.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Part of what breaks your heart is that you&#8217;re used to defying the odds. You&#8217;re used to writing fairytale endings. And the reality is that those things get made into movies because they&#8217;re so unlikely. And unfortunately, you can&#8217;t always \u2014 it&#8217;s not always like the movies,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s difficult to understand what moves people to do it, but when you&#8217;re doing it well, it&#8217;s a pretty incredible feeling,&#8221; Johnson said, adding that spectators can share in the rush: &#8220;It&#8217;s Formula One on ice with giant knives. Who doesn&#8217;t want to watch that?&#8221;<\/p>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n<p class=\"content__meta--contributors\">\n<p>                                  <a
