Aleksander Aamodt Kilde on supporting Mikaela Shiffrin at Beijing 2022: "We'll remember it for the rest of our lives"

Alpine ski power couple Alexander Aamodt Kilde and Mikaela Shiffrin were hardly ever out of the headlines during Beijing 2022 in what was a real roller coaster ride for both.

Kilde overcame the disappointment of finishing fifth in downhill to claim a bronze medal in Super G and silver in the combined.

Meanwhile, Shiffrin failed to make the podium in her six events and told Olympics.com she still felt "like a joke" after having three DNFs in individual races.

But for Kilde and 'Kaela', being together at Beijing 2022 meant having support and someone to rely on at an Olympics neither imagined.

"I loved it," Kilde told Olympics.com, "It's been such a good time."

"Of course, the results for both of us could have been better. I've had a great Olympics, she has had less great of an Olympics, but I think she's enjoyed being here with me and I have definitely enjoyed being here with her."

Their story of unconditional love and support has been touching during the Games, and Kilde's message of support for Shiffrin below has resonated through the sporting world.

"So it's just being together in something big, the Olympics... We're going to remember this for the rest of our lives and we can look back at it," Kilde continues.

"It's a story that you remember, eating dinner together, just hanging out, sharing experiences and being in China together, competing and trying to be as fast as possible.

"That's cool, especially when you can share it."

After Kilde's message of support, Shiffrin revealed how much having her boyfriend's support meant to her during the Games.

"My hope for every human is that they find another human who finds a way to love, understand, and heal them in the way @AleksanderKilde has done and continues to for me ❤️"
