2022 Beijing Winter Olympics saw the rise of the ‘next Chloe Kim’ in Eileen Gu. The American-born Chinese athlete won the gold medal in the recently introduced big air freestyle skiing event in the Olympics. Incidentally, Chloe was also a teenager when she won her first Olympic gold at the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics.
Kim only got better with age, and if history is any sign, Gu is on the same track as Kim. The Olympic champ, Eileen, recently appeared at the Met Gala as several stars and a surprise proposal graced the event.

Born in the US but competes for China

Born in California, Gu’s mother is Chinese while her father is an American. Yan Gu, Eileen’s mother, loved the sport of skiing. By enrolling her daughter in skiing school, Yan Gu developed her into a sensational pro-skier.

Upon seeing her mother’s devotion and love for the sport, Gu controversially competed for China in the Winter Olympics. Not only is Eileen a talented skier, but she is brilliant in academics as well. She has a score of 1580 on her SATs, via which she enrolled at Stanford University.
