Alpine skiers Mikaela Shiffrin and Aleksander Aamodt Kilde recently announced their engagement. The couple, who met in 2020, has been close ever since and went public as a couple in the middle of 2021. Over the past few years, they have supported each other through difficult times, including injuries and setbacks.
In January, both skiers crashed in races only 13 days apart. Shiffrin was able to return from leg injuries and finish the season in March, while Kilde is hoping to make a comeback from a severe leg laceration and shoulder surgery. Despite these challenges, both skiers have shown their resilience and determination in pursuing their goals.
As they prepare for the upcoming World Cup season, which is expected to start in late October, Shiffrin and Kilde are looking forward to future successes and milestones in their personal and professional lives. Their engagement marks a new chapter in their relationship and their shared passion for skiing.
