Recently, Kilde made an emotional return to competition in November 2025, finishing his first race back with Shiffrin watching anxiously – and tearfully – from the finish area.

With the Olympics on the horizon, speculation about their future – both competitively and personally – is at an all-time high. One thing is certain: whatever comes next, Shiffrin and Kilde will face it together.
