Eileen Gu caught the attention of Olympic fans for her good performance during the 2022 Winter Olympics. She won three medals for China in skiing.
Gu,18, was born to a Chinese mother and an American father in the U.S. She first had an idea of competing for China ahead of the 2015World Cup, and went into more detail on the“difficult decision”in 2019. She has lived in San Francisco for over ten years. The girl, however,has always been proud that she has Chinese roots(根). She speaks Chinese well and calls herself a “Beijing girl”.
“I want to encourage Chinese skiers the same way my American role models inspired me,”she wrote."I've always said my goal is to globally spread the sport I love to kids, especially girls. It is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to help inspire millions of young people where my mom was born, during the Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games,"said the girl, who plans on attending Stanford University in fall.
