The winningest alpine skier racer of all time just dropped the first episode of her personal podcast and she decided to launch the new venture by interviewing her fiancé, fellow ski racer and 2-time Olympic medallist Aleksander Kilde.
“What’s the Point?! Our very first guest is the one and only Aleksander Kilde: one of the greatest speed skiers of our generation, true Viking, and brown cheese connoisseur.”
Shiffrin’s debut episode of What’s the Point with Mikaela Schiffrin is a wide-ranging 1.5 hour conversation providing fans with a behind the scenes look at what it takes to excel at the highest echelons of competitive skiing while maintaining a strong relationship, especially with extended times apart due to their busy schedules.
The pair traded war stories about injuries and long recoveries that are common in a sport where athletes hurl themselves at highway speeds down icy slopes and even hinted at possibly starting a family in the future. They clearly admire each other and their chemistry as a couple is easy to understand.
The plan is to release 8 to 10 episodes throughout the winter and we can’t wait to tune into them all. Congratulations to Miki on the pod!
