Mikaela Shiffrin (and Aleksander Kilde?!)

Mikaela Shiffrin gives us a chunk of her very-busy, Olympic-prepping schedule to talk over Zoom—we’re catching Mikaela just 200 days from the Winter Games. First, we make sure to touch on the Jeff Shiffrin Athlete Resiliency Fund, named after father, whom she discusses. We then hit a few big topics: pressure, social media, and who Mikaela would be without skiing. Then we bring skiing champion (and Mikaela’s boyfriend) Aleksander Kilde for some fun and a little seriousness. The Skiing History segment is about the past century of skiing indoors.
