The American ski racer Mikaela Shiffrin has experienced a roller coaster of feelings in the past few weeks. After a serious injury that she went to Killington at the end of November, the 29-year-old returned to the World Cup in Saalbach on time. She uses her Instagram account to thank her fiancee Aleksander Aamodt Kilde for his constant support. "His positive attitude and mind in dealing with his own injuries were an absolute inspiration for me," wrote Shiffrin and emphasized how important his love is for her, as krone.at reports.

But the pressure in the competition was not long in coming. Last Saturday, Shiffrin experienced a bitter defeat in Sestriere giant Slalom when she left in the first run. They caught tears in the target area because the fall and the subsequent injury continue to throw shadows on their performance. The mental blockade seems to be a strong obstacle in this discipline, as Today.at . Two days later, however, she triumphed in slalom and celebrated her 100th World Cup victory - a historic moment in her career! The audience could feel Shiffrin's emotions when she commented on her success in an interview with tears of emotion.

Mikaela thanked her team and her fellow campaigners for the support and estimated the victory that she celebrated together with teammate Paula Moltzan: "We just pushed and made it possible," she said. This return to the track of success is another chapter in the impressive career of the most successful ski racer of all time and shows her tireless fighting spirit.
