Career[edit]
Johnson was coached by Stein Jorgensen and competed in both 200 m and 500 m distances.[1][2] She trained in San Diego.[2]
She was a surprise qualifier for the US team for the Athens Olympics, and was the youngest member of the US's canoeing and kayaking team.[3][4] At the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, she was eliminated in the semifinals of both the K-1 500 m and the K-4 500 m events. In the K-4 500 m her teammates were Kathy Colin, Lauren Spalding and Marie Mijalis.[4]
At the 2005 ICF Sprint Canoe World Championships, Johnson finished 8th in the K-1 500 m and 8th in the K-1 1000 m.[5]
At the 2006 ICF Sprint Canoe World Championships, Johnson finished 6th in the K-1 500 m and 7th in the K-1 1000 m.[6]
At the 2007 ICF Sprint Canoe World Championships, Johnson finished 4th in the K-1 1000 m and 5th in the K-1 500 m.[7]
She was the first US canoeist to qualify for the 2008 Summer Olympics, where she was eliminated in the semifinals of the K-1 500 m event.[1]
At the 2010 ICF Sprint Canoe World Championships, Johnson and her teammate Krisztina Fazekas-Zur finished 10th in the K-2 500 m event, winning the B-final.[8]
She was again the first US canoeist to qualify for the 2012 Summer Olympics, winning the K-1 500 m at the 2011 Pan American Games (she also won the K-1 200 m).[1][9] She went on to win the same event at the US Olympic trials in April 2012.[10] At the 2012 Summer Olympics, she reached the semi-final of the K-1 200 m, and the first round of the K-1 500 m.[11]
Personal life[edit]
Before she became a canoeist, she was a gymnast for ten years.[12] She discovered canoeing through a junior lifeguard programme.[12] The kayaking club was run by Chris Barlow, who had himself been an Olympian in 1992.[13] She had broken her arm doing gymnastics, and was looking for another sport to participate in.[2] She believes that the body control and strength she gained through gymnastics have helped her canoeing.[2]
Johnson competed at Olympic level despite being diagnosed with Crohn's Disease in 2003, and the disease causing her to miss both the 2003 and 2009 seasons.[1] The disease also led to her having to turn down a place at the 2003 Canoe World Championships.[12] After the 2012 Summer Olympics, she joined UC-Davis to study veterinary medicine having previously gained a biochemistry degree from UC-San Diego.[1] Her fiance is David Gubser, a Swiss kayaker.[1]
