Aleksander Aamodt Kilde to Miss Entire Ski Season Due to Shoulder Surgery

The Norwegian skier faces another operation after a severe infection, delaying his return to competition until the 2025-26 season.

Kilde suffered a serious crash in January during a World Cup downhill race in Wengen, Switzerland, leading to multiple injuries.
Despite initial recovery progress, Kilde's shoulder developed a significant infection in July, necessitating further surgery.
The infection was so severe it damaged the bone, requiring reconstructive surgery and an extended rehabilitation period.
Kilde, a two-time Olympic medalist and 2020 World Cup champion, has expressed his commitment to returning to competitive skiing.
His fiancée, Mikaela Shiffrin, remains supportive as she prepares for her own season, starting this weekend in Soelden, Austria.
