He elaborated on what sets Shiffrin apart: “She works the hardest than all of us… and that makes me also want to give it a little extra.” Kilde emphasized that sharing the same goals and challenges with the most decorated skier in World Cup history fuels his drive.
The couple, who went public with their relationship in 2021 and announced their engagement in April 2024, have been vocal supporters of each other through triumphs and setbacks. Kilde recently made an emotional return to competition after a severe crash in January 2024, while Shiffrin continues to dominate with over 100 World Cup victories.614ad4,b2eace
