Most athletes hype themselves in order to gain confidence and be in the best mental shape before a major tournament. She unites with famous Norwegian artist Kygo and Joe Jonas’ DNCE, who are back from a four-year hiatus to release their latest song, ‘Dancing Feet’. Joe Jonas started it with the band but later joined his brothers to form the ‘Jonas Brothers’.
Now, they are back with a new song with the preview starring the famous skier. Taking to Twitter to announce the collaboration, one would say Shiffrin got herself the perfect song for the video.

Shiffrin looks pumped
During her last World Cup event before the Winter Olympics, she finished fifth in the slalom competition. Swedish skier Sara Hector won the competition with a terrific race. Despite all that, she looked determined to make amends in China. With all her experience, it would be important for her to bounce back now when it is needed the most.
With the Olympics just a week away, Shiffrin would hope to compete at the highest level and make history. Even though Hector won the world cup event, Shiffrin’s elite mentality helps her to focus on her craft and brings her closer to yet another gold medal. Do you think she can repeat the 2014 and 2018 victories in China?
