Mikaela Shiffrin was filled with emotion as she explained the feeling of celebrating her gold medal win at the 2026 Olympics six years after her dad’s death: “This was a moment I have dreamed about.” After securing her third gold medal with a win in slalom on Feb. 18—ending an eight-year medal drought—the athlete reflected on achieving the milestone after the unexpected death of her father Jeff Shiffrin in 2020, saying, “Everything in life that you do after you lose someone you love is like a new experience. It’s like being born again, and I still have so many moments where I resist this. I don’t want to be in life without my dad.” She added, “Maybe today was the first time I could actually accept this reality. And instead of thinking I would be going in this moment without him, to take the moment to be silent with him.” Full Story: https://www.eonline.com/news/1428692/olympian-mikaela-shiffrin-on-winning-gold-dads-death
