The Name You Need To Know In Freeski | Meet Eileen Gu

For teenage freeski pro Eileen Gu, the decision of a lifetime didn’t come easily, but she did what had to be done.

Having already earned her first World Cup victory at the FIS Freeski World Cup at just 15, San Francisco-born Eileen Gu looked to her mother’s birthplace of China for a new challenge ahead of the 2022 Olympic Games – to inspire a new generation of athletes far away from the celebrated ski credentials of North America.

Choosing to compete for China rather than the United States came at a cost for Gu, but she’s certain it won’t be long until the decision pays off – it’s already having a huge effect.

I'm just fascinated by her. Never in my life have I heard of seventeen year old who is a elite pro athlete by weekend who is at the top of her sport, a regular student by day, a part time model, a state level runner, and scores insane high1580 SAT score out of 1600. Boggles the mind.

Cannot stop loving this girl. She is so confident and calm. At such a young age, she is absolutely talented and mature. Go Eileen!

Congratulations to Eileen Gu! Fully respects her decisions and her support for the Chinese side of her. Sports should be about personal talent / interest and not politics. USA is supposed to be a free country, so act like one and let her do what she want and represent who ever she wants. So proud of her for taking a stand against all the bullies out there.

If Eileen were full asian, no Americans make a fuss about her representing China.
