Alpine ski racing duchess Mikaela Shiffrin, alongside skiing champion Aleksander Aamodt Kilde, provides an evocative goal apart from the American and “Norwegian Viking” motifs. Both hold a phenomenal degree of success in their common sport. Moreover, the resilience shown by Mikaela Shiffrin and her boyfriend Aleksander in the dark times epitomizes the same. From time to time, their fans have taken special cognizance of such factors. 

Therefore, as Mikaela Shiffrin attributed her engagement rumors to Kilde, with a fitting post, her fans could not have missed the occasion. The 2x Olympic medalist displayed her ring finger in a shared IG post with the Norwegian skier. The snap showcased Aleksander beaming with happiness alongside Mikaela. Apart from acknowledging the engagement through the snap, the merrier couple extended their love with graphical captions in emojis of ring and togetherness.

Despite their engagement part had been a possibility for the last several months, the back-to-back mishaps loomed over the situation. Kilde’s fractured ligament and dislocated shoulder sent him to the hospital for a long time. The Alpine ski racing legend also suffered the same fate in Cortina this year where her knee and ankle were at the receiving end. However, after noticing their latest couple pic, the fans sighed a relief.
