This weekend (December 12–14), the floodlit Corviglia slope will host back-to-back downhills and a super-G, but all eyes are on Sunday’s super-G, where Mikaela Shiffrin and Lindsey Vonn will line up in the same start gate for the first time since 2019. Shiffrin, 30, the winner of a record 104 World Cup races, is making her long-awaited return to speed after a calculated one.

Mikaela Shiffrin and Aleksander Aamodt Kilde have become one of the most admired couples in winter sports, but their journey from casual acquaintances to engaged partners took nearly a decade—and was forged in some of the darkest moments of their lives. The two alpine skiing stars first met around 2015 at a World Cup event. Kilde, ever the bold Norwegian, broke the ice with a simple “Hi” and quickly sent the first friend request on social media. Later that season he asked Shiffrin out. Her playful rejection—“I thought I was being cute,” she now laughs—was taken as a polite no,…

In a candid interview released Wednesday on the Norwegian podcast “I det lange løp,” the 33-year-old speed star finally opened up about the proposal that took place last April in the Dolomites, an event the couple had kept almost entirely private until now. “Downhill starts? Scary, yes. But you…

That’s all it took. In an instant, a dream matchup that once felt impossible suddenly feels very real: Shiffrin vs. Vonn, technical queen against speed legend, on the steep, storied Engadin slopes where both have written history.

Norwegian alpine skiing star Aleksander Aamodt Kilde officially completed one of the most challenging chapters of his career on Sunday, returning to World Cup competition nearly 23 months after a horrific crash in Wengen that left his future in the sport uncertain. The 33-year-old speed specialist raced in the men’s Super G at the Stifel Copper Cup, marking his first World Cup start since January 2024.
