Mikaela Shiffrin Support Extends Beyond Boyfriend Aleksander Kilde in Grand Gesture of Sportsmanship

Enthusiastic anticipation is currently sweeping the alpine skiing world as the dynamic duo of Mikaela Shiffrin and Aleksander Kilde, compete for the title of FIS Alpine Ski World Championship 2023/24 champions. Shiffrin won a World Cup victory in the technical downhill race at St. Moritz, Switzerland. Soon after, attention turned to the men’s technical race that had previously been canceled or postponed because of erratic snowfall.

Shiffrin’s dedication to backing Kilde persisted despite the couple’s disappointing finishes at several events. Now, after Kilde defeated Team USA’s Bryce Bennett in the most recent race, a complimentary post was shared by Shiffrin.

Mikaela Shiffrin appreciates men’s downhill winners

Shiffrin celebrated her compatriot’s surprising first-place finish in the men’s downhill on the Saslong track at Val Gardena, Italy. And in the World Cup downhill race, Italian Olympian, Dominik Paris rose to the occasion taking his World Cup title. In a recent Instagram story shared by Shiffrin, she showed her support for Kilde by reposting a FIS Alpine Skiing’s Instagram post announcing the winners that included the men’s competition podium finishers.

Mikaela captioned the re-post: ” (five star eyes emojis)@akilde(heart eyes emoji)(And (hands up to show respect emoji)i @brycebennett!)
((And of course @dominikparis(respect emoji))).”  The former World champion who started from 12th place got an advantage with speed in the upper portion of the Dolomites course. Meanwhile, American skier, Bryce Bennett, who won the first downhill race of the season, finished in third place, 0.60 seconds behind Kilde.

Interestingly, Kilde just missed out on the victory by 0.03 seconds in the previous race which could’ve been his fourth victory on the Val Gardena. However, Kilde did beat out his Swiss rival Marco Odermatt who was edged off the podium finishers rank this time. The FIS Alpine Ski World Cup was made even more dramatic by the close finish and unexpected results. Meanwhile, Mikaela’s admiration and support of the contested men’s competition was hilariously greeted by Kilde recently.

Beyond victories, the couple knows how to have fun!

Even in the midst of fierce competition, victories, Mikaela and Aleksander never fail to show off their comedic side. A recent Instagram exchange showed Norwegian alpine ski racer Atle Lie McGrath post a fun picture with Shiffrin, exuding friendship and support for Kilde. Commenting on the same, Kilde wrote, “Damn that’s a great picture!! Love your support always, just don’t steal my girl Atleboy,” showing charming fusion of resentment and adoration.
