The pain felt by Mikaela Shiffrin for two and a half months now, when she saw dad Jeff die in early February, is still present in the soul of the American star, as she confessed in a video interview with CNN. "In the evening, just before I fall asleep, they are the saddest moments - revealed the three times winner of the World Cup - The most recent memories with dad, everything, the mind starts to wander and it is difficult".
Mikaela had immediately flown home, in Colorado, to assist dad Jeff in the last moments of his life: "I am grateful to have had the opportunity to see him in those moments - he said with tears in his eyes - He no longer seemed himself, but he I still felt with us. "
The failure to return to Are in the race, made official on the eve of the parallel slalom that could have kept her in the running for the World Cup, before everything was canceled due to Coronavirus, did not shake a Shiffrin that had flown to Sweden “First of all to make some nice turns and find myself, knowing that this would make my father happy.
And now I can't wait for Soelden to arrive and next season, because I know he would like to see me again at the starting gate ”.
