Desi Johnson’s Olympic prep video has fans talking.

The 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan and Cortina d’Ampezzo have already brought happy and emotional moments. One athlete, however, has caught a lot of attention even before competing.

Desi Johnson, a 24-year-old brakewoman from Australia, has drawn interest from fans around the world. She competes in the two-woman bobsled event and also plays professional rugby league. Johnson arrived in Italy with a large social media following. She has more than 1.3 million followers on Instagram and over 1.6 million on TikTok.

Bobsled often feels new and exciting to many viewers, especially in the United States. This year is no different. Johnson has added even more attention to the sport.

Johnson posted a video on Instagram with the caption, “Grwm for the first day of official training before our Olympic debut.” The clip gained traction as expected

The video shows Desi Johnson getting ready in her room. She puts on her makeup and then changes from casual clothes into her Olympic uniform. The short clip ends with her leaving for training.

She walks to the track with her teammate Breeana Walker. The two will compete together in the two-woman bobsled event. Training for the women’s competition started on February 18 at the 2026 Winter Olympics.

Johnson knows how to connect with fans. She shares both her sports life and personal moments on social media, which keeps people interested. Her latest video shows she understands what her audience likes to see.

She comes into these Olympics with high hopes. Johnson and Walker have a real chance to win a medal if they put together strong, clean runs. Actually, in bobsled, even the smallest time difference can decide the winner.

Winning a medal would make Johnson even more popular. A gold medal would be especially meaningful in Australia. She already has one of the biggest social media followings of any winter athlete from her country.
