Olympic gold medalist and World Cup record-holder Mikaela Shiffrin is trading her skis for a sideline seat this weekend as one of the star celebrity guests at a Denver Summit FC match.
The alpine racing icon, who is also a part-owner of the new professional women’s soccer club, will join other high-profile ski and outdoor personalities for the big home game. Fans can expect to spot the 110-time World Cup winner mixing with supporters, soaking up the atmosphere, and showing love for the team she helped build.
Shiffrin’s appearance continues her busy crossover year in Colorado sports. Just days after swapping jerseys with Broncos quarterback Bo Nix and letting players try on her Milano-Cortina Olympic gold medal, the skiing superstar is now fully in soccer mode.
Club officials say her presence is a major boost for the young franchise and a perfect example of Colorado’s tight-knit sports community. Expect plenty of photos, cheers from the stands, and maybe even a few more jersey exchanges before the final whistle.
When the slopes meet the pitch, Colorado wins.
