Shiffrin is a well-known American skier who has won two Olympic gold medals.
According to AP, she has now equalled Lindsey Vonn’s record for most World Cup victories.
Taking about her boyfriend, Skier Kilde, who is 30 years old and has a height of 1.81m, is a World Cup competitor who excels in both downhill and Super-G, or super giant slalom. He previously took part in the Olympic Winter Games in 2014 and 2018.
Kilde also competed in three further World Championships, finishing in the top 10 six times.
Due to his 300-pound bench press, he has been named “Ironman” and the “Arnold Schwarzenegger of skiing.”
Kilde gave the following reasons for picking skiing over football on the official Olympics website:
It was a really hard decision, but in the end, I decided to be a skier and I am more than happy about that.
He further said:
Obviously, playing in a stadium with thousands of spectators would be amazing, but the feeling I have every time I drop out of the start gate is unbeatable.”
According to reports, the couple originally met around seven years ago. However, Shiffrin declined Kilde’s first approach for a date.
The couple came closer when Shiffrin was struggling with the death of her father in 2021 and Kilde was recovering from a terrible accident that required him to use crutches.
In May 2021, the couple revealed their love to the world on Instagram. Kilde’s net worth stands at $1 million.
