The first episode of What’s the Point with Mikaela Shiffrin presented by Stifel is officially here, and Mikaela starts things off with her fiancé and fellow ski champion Aleksander Aamodt Kilde. Mikaela introduces the show’s focus on uncovering the “why” behind world-class performance.

Aleksander joins from rehab after a life-threatening crash in the Lauberhorn downhill in Wengen, Switzerland in January 2024. Together, they open up about his comeback journey, the mental side of injury recovery, and finding purpose when results no longer define success.

From honest conversations about fear and resilience to lighthearted moments about brown cheese, Oakley parties, Atomic media days, and their long-distance relationship, this episode is heartfelt, funny, and full of perspective. It offers a glimpse behind the medals into what truly keeps two of the world’s best skiers going.
