"Sometimes your man should be allowed to brag"-Mikaela Shiffrin's fiancé Aleksander Kilde makes feelings known after American's 100th World Cup win

Mikaela Shiffrin's fiancé Aleksander Kilde expressed his thoughts after the American athlete registered her 100th World Cup title win at the World Cup in Sestriere. The American Alpine skier had undergone multiple struggles this season, but emerged stronger than ever to register a historic milestone in the sport.

Mikaela Shiffrin suffered a crash early in the Alpine skiing season at the World Cup in Killington and the impact of the crash had restricted her mobility. Moreover, as the deep puncture wound wasn't self-healing from the blood clot, she had to undergo a surgery one week after the crash. The American Alpine skier also had to undergo a rehabilitation program to make a swift return back to the slopes.

On the other hand, her fiancé, Alkesander Kilde has been recovering from an injury that occurred due to a crash last year and is steadily making his way back to the sport. He took to Instagram to express her elation about Shiffrin's incredible performance in Sestriere and 100th World Cup title after overcoming all the hardships.

"Sorry Mikaela, I know you hate the GOAT talk – but sometimes your man should be allowed to brag 🐐 Today you hit your 100th World Cup victory - wow! So proud of you, and good luck to whoever dares to chase that record 😆 But what stands out even more is the person you are every day - that’s far greater than any number of victories. As you best say yourself - «it’s just a number»," he wrote.

Furthermore, Kilde revealed that he watched the race from the hospital as he was preparing to undergo a shoulder surgery.
