Aleksander Aamodt Kilde, the Norwegian skiing star, continues his challenging journey to return to the World Cup circuit after a devastating crash at the Lauberhorn in January 2024. His fiancée, fellow superstar Mikaela Shiffrin, has offered emotional support as Kilde recovers from a dislocated shoulder and a severe leg injury. The road back is filled with physical and mental challenges, but Kilde remains determined.
Aleksander Aamodt Kilde, one of the world's most successful speed event skiers, faces another setback in his recovery journey. Despite weeks of antibiotics, Kilde recently shared on Instagram that the infection in his shoulder, sustained after a crash in January during the Lauberhorn downhill in Wengen, Switzerland, has persisted.
Notably, five months after the accident, Aamodt Kilde returned to skiing. He recently slipped back into his ski boots and made his first turns at the SNØ indoor ski center in Lørenskog, near Oslo, Norway. Aamodt Kilde expressed his excitement to local media, stating, "It's a great feeling to finally be able to make some turns again."
The 22-year-old and his lawyers have submitted a lawsuit to Oslo district court.
Norway will start eight athletes in the opening races in Soelden, but Kjetil Jansrud is not among them.
