In a post on X by The Olympic Games, the account shared a post-race interview with Mikaela Shiffrin. In the video, the interviewer asked her, “What do you think you need to do to be considered the greatest female athlete of all time?” To which the queen of the snowy slopes replied, “I don’t think I can do anything to truly be the greatest of all time. For many people, it’s not me. And that’s okay.”  To bolster Mikaela Shiffrin’s claim as the greatest alpine skier of all time, numerous skiing stars voiced their admiration for her inspirational journey.

And her boyfriend, Aleksander Kilde, was one of the many voices that stood out. Kilde shared, “She works the hardest than all of us”. He continued, “Me knowing that she’s the most winning athlete in the world, and still she’s always, you know, fighting for those next levels always. That’s something special in her, and I think that’s going to make her win even more races than we think.” This drew the spotlight on the immense respect Kilde holds for Mikaela, not only as his girlfriend but also as an athlete.
