When the topic of alpine skiing arises, it’s impossible not to mention the name of the legend. The legend who has the most World Cup wins of any alpine skier in history. The dynamic duo of Aleksander Kilde and Mikaela Shiffrin.

Audi FIS Ski World Cup’s Instagram account produced a hyped clip of Aleksander and Marco Odermatt. Fans are excited for the Birds of Prey World Cup in a day after two Olympics collide. What did the athletes and the audience think of the clip?

Beaver Creek showdown anticipation with Aleksander Kilde

Aleksander Kilde, who has skied in the Beaver a lot of times in the video, said, “I can call it now my second home.” This proves that he may have an advantage in the fight as he is used to the course. While this may be true, his opponent Marco has some history at the course, as he includes in the video “Special memories from 2 years ago.”

To add to this, Marco’s opinion of the place is very positive, and he is ready to give it a go. His quote, “It’s amazing here,” backs it up. Though he may be excited and raring to go, so is Aleksander. In the clip, he makes the bold and strong comment, “It’s never impossible to win a race,” which, when taken in context with his past record, can be taken as a hint of his confidence.

Upon arriving, he exclaimed how Beaver Creek has a great environment and complimented the weather: “Always amazing to ski here, the atmosphere.” He knows that the Birds of Prey World Cup is one of the most iconic events, so he knows that there will be “Good Weather, Good Snow, Good Crowd”.
