Mikaela Shiffrin and Aleks Kilde Are Ski Racing’s Power Couple

The American and Norwegian, each multiple gold medal threats, got serious during the pandemic, as Kilde helped Shiffrin rediscover her love of skiing after her father died.
Ask Mikaela Shiffrin how she and Aleksander Aamodt Kilde, a Norwegian Alpine star, became ski racing’s power couple and she chuckles.
“It’s a very modern story,” Shiffrin, the two-time American Olympic gold medalist, said with a grin. “Millennial style.”
Facebook friends for several years, private messages, texts, Instagram. Finally, a first date in person was arranged. Then last winter, coronavirus outbreaks were proliferating on the World Cup ski racing circuit.
“I was so paranoid, I made him get a negative Covid test,” Shiffrin said, laughing as she sat in her Colorado home late last year. “Romantic, huh?”
They met for a walk but remained six feet apart - with masks on.
