Today you answered every single one.”...When mentioning Shiffrin’s past Olympics, Kilde referenced the 2022 Beijing Games, which she finished without a medal.

After all that, she persevered to claim gold in slalom with the most dominant performance by an Olympic Alpine skier in decades.“You shut all our mouths and showed the world who the queen is,” he added. “I’ve seen the work you’ve put in both physically and mentally over the last years — you are my biggest inspiration and I’m a proud fiancé to say it at least. I love you.”The couple started dating in 2021 and were later engaged in April 2024 after Kilde sustained a significant injury earlier that year.The responseShiffrin then reposted Kilde’s post to her story with crying and heart emojis.

I won.”It’s a moment Shiffrin and her beloved will never forget, as she is now the first U.S. Olympic skier to win three Olympic gold medals.
