Mikaela Shiffrin’s crown is in danger, and the situation is of her own making. As a major spokesperson for Stifel, the current granddaddy of the alpine skiing world, Shiffrin has labored to pull many other American skiers up the ranks. However, when one of these stifel members came too close for comfort, the legendary skier knew she had to up her game.

Paula Moltzan, who until recently looked up to Lindsey Vonn, has found a new idol in Mikaela Shiffrin. She took her inspiration to new heights during the women’s World Cup slalom and came second to the podium after Shiffrin. Thereafter, the legendary skiing champ buckled down for the Tremblant giant slalom yesterday and put some distance between herself and Molztan. However, in the next moment, Paula Moltzan was again by her side.

Paula Molztan stops Mikaela Shiffrin from achieving her goals

Mikaela Shiffrin acquired the third spot on Saturday’s giant slalom in Tremblant. After her time on the rough terrain, the Queen of the Slopes wanted to retreat to the comfort of her royal bed. This is part of her competition ritual, as shared in a recent Instagram post from the supine position on her sofa. Contrary to her expectations, Shiffrin found a hardwood surface and an unexpected bedmate after her recent exploits on the slopes. In an Instagram update, she was found in a bear hug, lying on her back on a wooden table while Paula Moltzan lay on top of her. The latter commented, “Interrupting horizontal time”, indicating that Shiffrin’s recovery day plans were halted by an impromptu bonding moment.

Mikaela Shiffrin did not mind the interruption and graced the picture with a wide smile. She captioned the image, “cuddles are life #wearecuddling” to commemorate their sisterly bond. But there is something beyond the usual giggles and laughter that these athletes share.
