Ski racing great Mikaela Shiffirin joined Chelsea Handler (who fancies herself a skier as well) on her weekly advice show “Dear Chelsea” to discuss her career as one of the most dominant athletes in the history of the sport, the passing of her father and her relationship with her fiancé Norwegian alpine skier Aleksander Aamodt Kilde. The following clip is just a snippet of a longer conversation. Find the audio link to the full interview below.

“The greatest Alpine skier of all time (yes, men included), Mikaela Shiffrin, joins Chelsea this week for a heart-to-heart. Mikaela discusses recovering from an accident while simultaneously nursing her fiancé back to health, working through grief after losing her dad, plus letting it all go when the pressure gets to be too much – and winning anyway. Then: A skier wonders how to get back on slopes after an injury. A girlfriend gets the ick even though she knows she’s found Mr. Right. And a fiancé wants to use her grandmother’s engagement ring – and her stepmom is holding it hostage.” -Chelsea Handler
