The Queen of the Snowy Mountains, Mikaela Shiffrin, has done it again at the season’s first women’s downhill event. The winningest Alpine skier is edging ever closer to reaching the remarkable milestone of 100 World Cup victories.
Shiffrin showed her dominance at the 2023–24 FIS Alpine Skiing World Cup season in St. Moritz, Switzerland, blitzing past the formidable Sofia Goggia and her Italian teammate Federica Brignone. And now, in a heartfelt victory tribute, her boyfriend, Aleksander Aamodt Kilde, the Norwegian alpine ski racer, sent her a one-word message.

In the latest update, the super-G skier- Aleksander Kilde, congratulated his girlfriend, Mikaela Shiffrin, with a one-word message via Instagram stories. He posted a picture of the two-time Olympic gold medalist where she looked fierce in full throttle, adorned in a striking blue puffer jacket, and her signature blue helmet proudly displaying the “Barilla“ logo.
He wrote, “Bosslady,” with two hearts on fire emojis and a gold medal symbol alongside this beautiful image. This update from the 31-year-old Norwegian hunk came just moments after Shiffrin took the slope in St. Moritz at the Audi FIS Alpine Ski Work Cup 2023/24 like an avalanche.

Mikaela Shiffrin gave a rare win at the downhill ski race in St. Moritz, as she’s known more for slalom and giant slalom. Winning downhills is not her forte, but she surprised all by owning the course’s midsection and securing a time faster than Sofia Goggia, who won the Super G the day before and is the downhill specialist.
