"Best skier in the world"- Mikaela Shiffrin's fiancé Aleksander Kilde makes his feelings known on going on a skiing date with the World Cup Champion

Mikaela Shiffrin's fiance, Aleksander Kilde, recently opened up about his date plans with the American skier. The American champion recently announced her comeback to the World Cup circuit weeks after her injury.

Shiffrin will be seen on the slopes once again, competing at the Alpine Skiing World Cup in Courchevel. Amid this, her fiance, Kilde, spoke about their date plans in an interview with BOSS. In the segment, called 'Gondola Confessions,' he was asked if he had taken anyone on a skiing date, to which he replied:

"My fiance. She's the best skier in the world. So, I guess the answer is yes. And we're probably going to keep doing that."

However, ahead of this, he took immense care of Shiffrin after she faced a devastating crash on November 30, 2024. The skier crashed into the fence just moments ago, reaching the finish line in Killington, and was immediately rushed to the medical center. The American sustained an abrasion on her hip that restricted her movement and had to undergo surgery to treat the blood clot in the injury.

Almost six weeks after the injury, the skier took to her Instagram, sharing the news of her recovery and revealing that she will be in action on January 30, 2025, in Courchevel.

Mikaela Shiffrin and Aleksander Kilde have been together since 2020 now, and they have been each other's biggest cheerleaders in every situation, including a World Cup race or during a critical injury. They are frequently seen confessing their love for each other in public. In an interview with Olympics.com, Kilde spoke about their relationship, stating that they make each other better.

"We're having an amazing time together, and what I find really cool is that we can share experiences and have conversations about things I can't really have with anyone else. She has a lot of experience; I have some experience and we can make each other better," said Mikaela Shiffrin's fiance.

He added:

"Also, you know, I like her as a person more than anything else. For me that she's a skier is just a bonus. I really enjoy spending time with her, and that's what I keep in mind. Anything else is just a bonus.”

Mikaela Shiffrin currently has 99 career World Cup wins, making her the winningest alpine skier of all time. In her next race on January 30, she will be vying for her 100th World Cup win after the accident. Her fiance, Aleksander Kilde, also suffered a crash in Wengen in January 2024 and is yet to make a return to the slopes.
