"Back on the slopes"- Mikaela Shiffrin's fiance Aleksander Kilde returns after horror crash in World Cup race in Switzerland

Mikaela Shiffrin's fiancé, Norwegian skier Aleksander Kilde, recently shared glimpses of his snow training sessions. Kilde has been out of the professional skiing circuit for more than a year at this point, following the January Wengen crash.

The injuries that followed his crash led to Kilde going through several surgeries and medical complications that forced him to sit out the entire 2024-25 season. However, Kilde has recovered gradually from the injuries and the follow-up surgeries, thereby eying a comeback for the next season, which consists of some major tournaments such as the 2026 Winter Olympic Games.

Kilde shared a few pictures of his sessions on the snow in Norway on his Instagram stories. In one of the pictures, the 32-year-old can be seen clicking a selfie on the snow amidst the practice. He captioned it further, stating:

Mikaela Shiffrin's fiancé,cé Aleksandr Kilde, shared his perspective about the shoulder injury he faced after the Wengen crash last year, for which he went through several surgeries. Speaking in a recent interview, the Norwegian revealed that after the crash, he learnt a lot about his body.

Additionally, Kilde also mentioned that his shoulder will need more fixation as he grows older. He said (via VG Norway):

"I have learned an enormous amount about the body and how it reacts. The shoulder is living on borrowed time. It may be something that needs to be fixed when I get older. I don't know. But this is an operation that is very rarely done on an athlete."

Speaking about his future time in the skiing circuit and the national team, Kilde further remarked that he is grateful for the time he has in the sport. He added:

"I'm glad I have a few years left in this sport. I have to deliver some results eventually, but I'm happy to be here as long as possible."

Just a few days later, the couple spent some time together, enjoying some summer time.
