Kilde was seriously injured again in Chile.

Norwegian skier Aleksander Aamodt Kilde injured his Achilles tendon during training in Chile, according to the Norwegian Ski Association. This injury will require a prolonged recovery period.

Kilde is a prominent figure in alpine skiing, and this setback could impact his performance in future events. The Norwegian Ski Association provided the update regarding the extent of the injury and the expected recovery time.

Norwegian alpine skier Aleksander Aamodt Kilde has sustained another serious injury during training in Chile, this time damaging his Achilles tendon. According to the Norwegian Ski Association, Kilde will undergo further medical evaluations in Innsbruck. The 34-year-old athlete, who previously won the overall World Cup title in the 2019/20 season, suffered a severe injury at the Wengen downhill race in 2024. He was absent from competition for nearly 18 months due to multiple surgeries. His return last season did not go smoothly, leading him to withdraw from the Beijing Winter Olympics. Kilde, married to American ski star Mikaela Shiffrin, has secured 21 World Cup victories, including 12 downhill wins, along with two Olympic medals from Beijing 2022 and two titles at the 2023 World Championships in Courchevel. His latest injury raises concerns about his future in competitive skiing. Earlier this year, he had already faced setbacks, prompting questions about whether his career might end. Kilde’s representatives have not commented publicly on the extent of the current injury or its potential impact on his long-term participation in the sport. Kilde is scheduled to travel to Innsbruck for additional medical assessments, which could determine the duration of his recovery period.
