ABOUT Desi Johnson
This October, I’ll begin a six-month international bobsleigh season, competing for Australia as a Brakewoman teamed with Sarah Blizzard. I'll be racing across Europe from October through March, with one clear mission: competing in Europe and World Cup events to try earn our place at the 2026 Winter Olympic Games in Milan.
Unlike many professional sports, bobsleigh is entirely self-funded for athletes like myself. That means I am responsible for covering every expense—travel, sled transportation, accommodation, equipment, competition fees, and training. While fully committing to my performance on the ice, I also shoulder the full financial weight of the season.
I’m currently seeking supporters to help make this journey possible. Your support directly impacts my ability to compete, train at the highest level, and represent Australia on the world stage.
This isn’t just about a race—it’s about chasing a lifelong dream to inspire, break barriers, and bring Australia to the Olympic podium.
