Mikaela Shiffrin’s latest Colorado stop had everything. She walked into Broncos training camp and left with a warm welcome and a jersey. She then stepped onto the field with Denver Summit FC — the NWSL team she invested in — for a coin toss, an on-field interview, and a medal celebration.
A few days later, the three-time Olympic gold medalist summed it all up in one clear message:
“Home (and Colorado sports) is where my heart is… thank you, Denver Broncos and Denver Summit FC for the warmest welcome last weekend. Cheering for you and hope to be back soon! But for now, it’s time to ski.”
The post captured the perfect balance that has defined Shiffrin’s career. Deep roots in Colorado. Genuine love for her home teams. And an unshakable pull back to the mountains.
With the southern hemisphere winter already underway, she is heading to Chile for on-snow training as she prepares for the next World Cup season. The camps in South America remain a key part of her yearly routine, even after a memorable few days back home.
One weekend. Two teams. Pure Colorado energy. And then the skis called her name again.
That’s the Shiffrin way.
