- She is the #Olympic champion and the "genius girl" by all accounts. But she is also an 18-year-old girl who gets scared and sheds tears. This is a letter from #GuAiling. She talks about her journey of growing up...
People should give credit to her mother, who stands right behind Aileen's remarkable success.
The wind beneath the wings of a soring Angel.
Yea but she was just 5% of her success, if she truly didnt want it no one can force you to do something and be good at it for decades, she genuinely is good at what shes doing and shes having fun
Eileen Gu is like the symbol and daughter of the Chinese diaspora. Congratulations Eileen Gu, living your best life!
There is no contradiction between East and West and Eileen demonstrates that. She is a positive role model for young people everywhere. We can live together and learn from each other.
Yes, totally agree
Empathy and Humanity
Naivete and foolishness goes hand in hand. Decades of US-China relations has proven this about us.
Well said
Congratulations Eileen Gu and wish U the best in the future. You make many Chinese all over the world so proud 💪💪
Love from overseas Chinese in Denmark ❤️
She is a daughter and granddaughter who has been brough up well and in a supportive manner🥰
The up bringing to respect the elders and to keep the cultural and traditions for 'future' generations.
This girl is blessed with a great charisma and talent. Above all, she can read and write Chinese even though she is born and raised in the usa. Her mother deserves a credit for her well developed and mature character and skill.
A true champion hide their bruise and decades of pain and stress inside. It was a long road and journey they embarked since age 3 and for all those negative that criticize her now, it just show how much shallow and ignorant they are. This is an Olympian that represent the spirit of the game
It’s such a joy watching all the videos about Ailing, wish you and your family the best, Ailing !🥰🥰💖💖
What a confident and refreshing teenager she is , who is not afraid to face her shortcomings and learn from them, thereby demonstrating to us , that is she is human ,just like the rest of us. I wish you all the very best ,Aileen, in all your future endeavours !
Fantastic accomplishment this Winter Olympic
Just a little girl enduring so much of pain and joys
She's so amazing & talented💞
An exceptional personality. Beauty, brains and brawn. Ms Gu did the right thing, coming home to China to celebrate success.
YES SUCCESS FOR CHINA, FOR HER MOTHER AND FAMILY, SUCESS TO THE OLYMPIC SPIRIT, SUCCESS FOR THE WHOLE WORLD !
This girl just hit the sweet spot between EAST and WEST. When you are an American is very natural to feel confident and try to broke the mold and when you are Chinese is likely you are inherently focus toward your goal.
She was borned for these (medals) exactly!
She is a young legend in this sports! way to go! not for US or China but for the whole world,,,
Eileen, you are an inspiration to all Chinese people. I wish you go from strength to strength and inspire the future generation to hard work towards their dream. Good fortune.
Incredible person, doing incredible things for her home country
She is like a glowing light for China and the Chinese people. All Chinese people around the world have suffered from the smear campaigns, the attacks in public, the constant negativity in the media. But Aileen Gu is an inspiration and despite all the western negative press coverage, she has won 2 gold medals and a silver. As a Chinese person, I am overwhelmed with joy and so proud for Aileen.
Right on ! I'll second that time and again !
Gu Ailing has done for winter sports what Wang Yaping has done for STEM fields.
Inspirational women that will be the role models for millions.
China has every reason to be proud.
Her name is Eileen Gu!
@@fionaokeefe1906 her chinese name is Gu Ailing. Both are correct.
My heart goes to Gu Ailing.

God bless you Ailing. Keep up your good work inspiring other people- young & old.
Such an inspiration. So happy for you! The tough journey, the doubts, the fears you have overcome them all. You have made a difference to many!
An inspiration, thank you.
She is living her dream..what a amazing individual.
Inspirational, you did it, Eileen Gu!
新時代的優秀新人類，非常好。
Gu Ailing is so beautiful ♥️♥️♥️
Very inspirational thank you Eileen!
Behind her medals, there are many hardships, falls, injuries, and setbacks that most of us don't see. This is what it means to become an Olympic champion. This is what most Olympians go through to get to the Games. Respect!
We Chinese abroad are proud of the Motherland, not matter what negative new the west says. Keep going China we have your back Jai Yao
She's so young and truly inspirational as hell. She inspires me to conquer my own fears and my own limits . Her vulnerability and honesty really shines through. She's very relatable love that. She will go on to accomplish great things!
It's not easy to get a Gold medal.
Nice to see happy stories today, there is not enough happy stories in this world now.
The world belongs to young people who are sincere, kind and hardworking.
Truly amazing how fear motivates Eileen to action and success, awesome！ 無畏無懼、勇往直前、遇強越強的新世代，加油！
Just like her freestyle skiing style, she sounds far more eloquent speaking Mandarin.
Such a beautiful girl in appearance & in spirits. A wonderful human being trying to bridge China - US relationship.
Astonishing!
Never have crossed my mind that I would enjoy basketball until Jeremy Lin. It’s so challenging for Chinese to be in NBA, because of its competitiveness. Jeremy Lin conquered NBA, he captivated people like me, a Chinese American. Never have I thought I would enjoy skiing, until Aileen Gu. You are like a fresh air!
3:48 Fear makes you focus on the moment. Focusing on the moment is a blissful experience. No wonder why Eileen Gu is turned on by fear.
truly amazing traitor
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BEING A CHAMPION OR WORLD CHAMPION COMES DOWN TO 2 WORDS IN THAT IMDIVIDUAL'S MIND. THESE 2 WORDS ARE "WANT & NEED". THE PERSON THAT "WANTS" IT WILL BECOME A CHAMPION SOMEDAY BUT THE PERSON THAT "NEEDS" IT WILL BECOME A WORLD CHAMPION SOMEDAY. OF COURSE THERE ARE MANY OTHER FACTORS THAT IS NEEDED TO FORM A COMPLETE CHAMPION WHOM IS ALSO A GOOD HUMAN BEING AND WILL INSPIRE PEOPLE IN THE RIGHT WAY. MS AILING GU HAS ALL THE RIGHT STUFF BUT AT 18YRS OLD HER LIFE JOURNEY HAS JUST BEGUN AND NOT ALL OF THE DECISIONS BEING MADE ARE 100% HER OWN. SO TIME WILL TELL BUT SHE HAS SHOWN GREAT CHARACTER AND STRENGTH IN THE DECISIONS SO FAR. YOU GO GIRL.
Such a beautiful girl. Both inside and out. Stay true to your calling. We love you
👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏🙏
She would do well in chinese movie industry.
she laughed about her broken collar bone like it was nothing in her other documentary... It would be nice to know how many injuries she had sustained over the decade.
A normal person would have fear of the sport once they had mutiple injuries.
she seemed to have conquered fear. It is still there but it drives her forward.. I wish I have that kind of mentality as well.
EILEEN YOU ARE MY IDOL.I LOVE YOU
The world gas gone GU GU over Gu
这小姑娘真励志
❤️
百年出一個奇才，尤其是女性，真是冰雪運動的喜樂！！
All we need from a person is a true love of his country first then his talent after.
Why does she speak Chinese so good????????
她是一位冰雪天才，青蛙公主，恭喜她！
Inspiring!!!!
is that unreal engine?
Wonder if she has contact with her paternal grandparents?
Her paternal relatives will probably be coming out of the woodwork now.
Eileen Gu has inspired millions of people in China and the world . If given a choice she should stay in China and be a role model and train those who are interested in this sport.
Today in the states there are too many hate crimes against Asian people and not safe
to stay there.
ฉ้นใม่ใด่รับเงินค้าคงจาถุกใกงนะสิค้าใอ้ยลำบากค้าม่หนี้สินมากค่าต้องใช่เขาเขานอนตาใม่หล้บสนิทค้าใอ้ยใอยสิค่า
Money drives her forward. Not moral value or intelligence.
Anyone here who is not a 50-cent army bot?
I'm not you pasty face,Donald trump,mike pompeo evangelical 5-eyes goon !!
Unlike other big name movie stars, willing to sleep with dirty film directors in order to become famous, her achievement is done by her own talent, intense training, and sincere contributions from coaches. She deserves whatever coming to her.
she must be a traitor, definitely. Ashamed of Gu 叛徒
It is just starting... china will eventually will take american basketball 🏀 players and competitive swimmers to beat USA
It is Eileen’s freedom of choice to represent China and she absolutely nailed it. Don’t feel bad when you have nothing to offer except jealousy and hatred. Learn from this child what it means by happiness and success!
人家18 经历了 这么多.
我18还不会邦鞋带！说笑的🤣
Traitor , Eileen Gu is like the symbol of a big traitor
I want to eat at my Momma Wongs place.
She is going back to the States lol hahah thats what she wants :) made billlions of dollars in China and now our Chinese hero Gu is wanting to go back to the States lol
traitor, definitely. Ashamed of Gu 叛徒
Well it’s definitely not live of country that drives her
I wonder how is it possible that she was so vocal about BLM and the Anti-Asian movement here in America, but as quiet as a mouse about severe human-rights issues in China? Hypocrite? or selling yourself out because you're getting paid millions to keep your mouth shut. Or maybe both? And great job in not representing the country that you grew up in, used our training facilities, had your family enjoy democracy to go and represent a communist nation who is one of our greatest military threats to our country and against the very things we stand for as a nation. Hmmm, does the word "Traitor" seem to fit? yeah, we think so. Here's a thought, why don't you just stay in China? It's apparent that America is not good enough for you, and we shouldn't have to pay you millions of American dollars for you to represent us. Nope, the rest of us may not be great athletes, but we're damm proud to be Americans---our loyalty is true and can't be bought.
you know how big this must be for her too.. for such a minor sport to receive a huge following in china.. gotta remember, this is not football and she's not messi or cr7, but then again, china is another planet.. just look at how they market and invest just because of one person.. i feel sorry for the next asian generation who'll get "inspired" asian parents.. emotional damage on them kids will be massive..
40 yrs ago China was dirt poor, but they got "inspired" by the advancements and successes of many other countries. And look at where China now... China is above those countries. So don't worry about China, they definitely has very strong will to move forward. Btw we can say the opposite thing for western countries... as we can see everyday is just downhill for them. I feel sorry for their current generation.... emotional damage facing the reality.
No need to feel sorry for them as they will be the future leader of the world.
FREESTYLE SKIING ⛷ IS A MINOR ROUTINE??? SINCE WHEN
Congratulations Eileen Gu and wish U the best in the future. You make many Chinese all over the world so proud 💪💪
Love from overseas Chinese in Denmark ❤️
