As Ferrari driver Carlos Sainz won his first-ever Formula One pole position, American skier Mikaela Shiffrin, and boyfriend, Aleksander Aamodt Kilde, marked their presence at the British Grand Prix 2022 qualifying. However, it is unknown whether they turned up to support a particular team or a player. But they shared some pictures on their Instagram story from the qualifying round at Silverstone.

Mikaela Shiffrin and Norwegian skier Aleksander Kilde met around seven years ago. However, it was not until 2021 that they realized something special was going on between the two. Kilde went on to Instagram to announce that the two were officially in a relationship. Ever since they have been each other’s constant support pillars.

How did Shiffrin and Kilde Meet?

According to the three-time Olympic champion, they met around seven years ago during a FIS Alpine Ski World Cup. About their first encounter, Shiffrin said, “I think he started the conversation by saying ‘Hi.’ He also sent the first friend request. He technically asked me on a date later that year, but I sort of denied him. I thought I was being cute, but he seems to have taken it as a rejection.”

Being in the same sport, they understand each other well and are always trying to push one another to become their best versions.
