Aleksander Kilde recently opened up about fiancée Mikaela Shiffrin's role and impact in his recovery process. Kilde suffered severe injuries after a devastating fall at the Lauberhorn downhill in Wengen in January 2024. He injured his right leg and his left shoulder and later contracted sepsis (an infection in his shoulder). He was forced to undergo multiple surgeries during the rehabilitation period.

Throughout this difficult time, Shiffrin stood by his side like a rock. In a recent interview following his return to the slope, Kilde opened up about Shiffrin's role, stating she not only helped him in his personal growth but also in his career.

"She has supported me from day one. Not only personally, but also as an athlete. I'm glad that I can share so much with her. The support I've gotten from her has been insane. I love her." (via bluewin.ch)
