Aleksander Aamodt Kilde is working towards getting back to the slopes after a severe injury in January 2024. He missed the entire 2024-25 Alpine skiing season due to complications from the injury, including an infection in his shoulder requiring multiple surgeries.
Kilde crashed during a downhill event in Wengen, Switzerland, injuring his shoulder and suffering a deep laceration on his calf. Despite setbacks, Kilde remains optimistic about his comeback, aiming for the 2025-26 season and potentially the 2026 Milano-Cortina Winter Olympics. Kilde had what he hopes to be his “last shoulder surgery” in February 2025. He’s focusing on rehabilitation to ensure his shoulder can withstand full load again.
Kilde plans to return for the 2025-26 season, targeting the first downhill event in Beaver Creek. He’s aiming to compete in the 2026 Milano-Cortina Winter Olympics.
Given the complexity of Kilde’s injury and recovery, creating a 3000-word news piece would involve extensive details on his injury, recovery process, statements from Kilde and his fiancée Mikaela Shiffrin, and analysis of his potential return to competitive skiing.
