“What a crazy day, Szn! Congratulations to Lara and @FedeBrignone, who both had excellent, consistent skiing throughout the season! Completely merited and deserving. To put it mildly, it was inspirational, and I’m excited to fight with them and the other women next year,” Shiffrin added.
Aleksander Aamodt Kilde and Mikaela Shiffrin, two alpine skiers, confirmed their engagement.
Record-breaking World Cup winner Shiffrin and two-time Olympic medallist Kilde, a Norwegian, grew close in 2020 before becoming public as a relationship in mid-2021.
They have helped one other through hard situations over the past few years. Most recently, thirteen days apart, each skier crashed in a race this past January.
After sustaining leg issues, Shiffrin concluded the season in March. Kilde expects to recover from shoulder surgery and a serious leg laceration in the future.
It is anticipated that the next World Cup season would begin in late October.
