2-time Olympic gold medalist, Mikaela Shiffrin, is one of the best skiers in the world. The 26-year-old has won the World Championship multiple times, having a dozen other accolades to her name.

Shiffrin is also tied for the spot of most Olympic medals won by an alpine skier with Ted Ligety and Andrea Mead Lawrence. She is the youngest skier to win 50 World Cup races at 23 years and 9 months.

Now, it seems like she has another interesting connection to skiing. Rumor has it that Shiffrin is currently dating fellow alpine skier, Aleksander Aamodt Kilde.

“More than anything else”: Aamodt Kilde

Both Mikaela Shiffrin and Aleksander Aamodt Kilde are alpine skiers. While Shiffrin dominates slalom skiing, Kilde is an alpine ski racer and focuses mainly on super-G and downhill.

The two have been practicing together for the upcoming Winter Olympics and are rumored to be dating. The official Twitter account of the Olympics posted a video of the two alpine skiers. Both can be seen dancing in each other arms and having fun.

Mikaela Shiffrin talks about handling pressure

The 2-time Olympic Gold medalist knows all there is to know about pressure. Shiffrin is used to the stress of competing and performing at the highest level.

“Maybe some sports have a little higher risk, but the pressure is always there,” said Shiffrin.
