@@terryandrews3186 Nah man, couldn't find it when I first heard about Eileen Gu. Guess that's why her last name is Gu instead of some western last name.
yes talent and hard work same as many of thousands of athletes that came to represent their countries , let's be honest the only reason they are supporting her this much is because she won the gold medals and hailed as hero to the country not just her skill, i guarantee you the moment she loses her medals in the next winter olympics, the same people you hailed and supported her as a hero will be the ones defaming and criticizing for losing, look at what happened to Zhu Yi, complete night and day when it comes to supporting a "hero" and a "villian", you don't she works hard to qualify and represent China to try and win a gold medal?
As a Chinese Canadian, I am happy for her success as these endorsements would not be as plentiful to her if she had represented the USA. Asians are considered lower tier when it comes to endorsement opportunities Simi Liu notwithstanding
You're right that she would have better endorsement deals in China, but I don't think it's because of her (mixed) race -- it's because sports are already big-business in the US. The US simply has "too many" world-famous athletes competing for endorsement deals, and the big endorsements in the US are centered around the major spectator sports like basketball, baseball, and American football. Winter sports like skiing and snowboarding are simply less popular, and even white-male athletes like Shaun White get much fewer endorsement deals compared to basketball or football players.
@@Cosmo1093 you right , Shaun White made about 7 or 8 million a year at his peak, so practically speaking, Asian American athletes completing for their motherlands is definitely a better choice and this opportunity is primarily for Asian Americans of chinese heritage at least at this moment . like Tiffany just named 3 celebrities to be the face of the brand last year , Anya Taylor-Joy super white American, Tracee Ellis Ross African American and Eileen Gu, why not for example Chloe Kim or Suni Lee ? who are both 100% American without controversy
@@to04buk Probably for the same reason that Louis Vuitton has an endorsement deal with Eileen Gu too -- it's because Tiffany and Co. is a multinational brand with a presence in China.
Ailing Gu is who she is & where she is & what she is because of her Hard work. She has the democratic right to choose whatever she wishes & however she wishes within her own guidelines. Comments that are critical are heavily tainted with hypocrisy and a case of sour grapes.
One thing you should notice is that most of the endorsements are signed before the Olympics. As seen in the video, most of the boards introduce her as 'World Champion'. So, they are all made before her winning the Olympic Champion title.
Recent years, there's so many international athletes are willing to learn Mandarin to reach wider opportunities in China. First I saw Danish badminton player, Viktor Axelsen wh0 c an speak Chinese fluently, and then Eileen, then others would follow. I also saw there are some foreign brands/companies that have official douyin (tiktok China) account: Olympics, WWE, NBA, even Teletubbies!
@@tianko5609 But she was raised by Her Chinese mother and Grandmother. Her American father is basically nonexistent. Also, Who payed for all her training? It was her mother.
Crazy how people still don’t get what being mix kid is… mum is Chinese so she is Chinese, dad is American so she also is American…passport is just a paper. My kids are mix French/Chinese and for sure I will let them take what’s the best from both country.
In US as an athlete, you have to do fund raising all the time to cover all the related expenses which can be a lot. Ailing learnt how to fund herself through various channels, it’s amazing!
I hope wealth don't blind her and making her content with what she has and not thriving forward. She is still very young and has many more opportunities to grow higher.
Not every American born Chinese can speak mandarin so fluently like Eileen. Her Beijing accent sounds pretty native too. She has excellent academic record, pretty face, artistic skills, superior physical strength and agility. She has proven the genetic advantages of a Sino-Anglo mixed race. This might be a future trend for human evolution. She is truly inspiring as a teenager. No wonder she is so popular in China.
I'm a big fan of Eileen Gu. Just because of her, I started buying Anta and Li Ning sportswear! Anta's actually's more expensive, but it's okay, I want to support Chinese brands and athletes. GO EG GO!
Just hope she is happy and can do whatever she wants in life, the last comments from the lady is spot on. No jealousy and bigotry, just worry about those US hawks/politicians and China haters, may think she is just too high profile in giving China positive vibes globally, just look at what happened to Aaron Blunck, apparently Twitter blocked his account after he spoke positively of China and how the US media portrays China in stateside.
Piano prodigy, SAT score: 1580, Olympic medalist, Fluent in two languages and already millionaire as teenage. Kids must sweat heavily when their tiger moms are watching a video about Aileen Gu.
She is really like one in a million kids, it's hard to make all the kids like her. It doesnt take just talent, but GIFTED/PRODIGIOUS talent like hers. Probably environmental factors like home environment, upbringing and education have shaped who she is now, but without her innate gift, grit, perserverance, she wouldnt attain such achievement. And I think fate has brought her to the sport she is destined to be with to attain success. Would she have achieved likewise if she did other things like swimming or running? We dont know, but in her case the stars are all aligned.
@@youtubeshadowbannedme She's 18, so she's still a teenager. And her earning is in the top 1%, reported $31 millions in 2021. She's a multi millionaire, so she is definitely in the upper class. You made it sound like everyone is a millionaire nowadays.
I was coming home tonight from a mall in western beijing. Many of the bus stop billboards had her image on them. Even in my apt elevator there are yogurt adds. Crazy.
Eileen Gu reminds me of a modern day version of Bruce Lee experience with being Chinese American. He had to work in both Hong Kong and US. There are millions of Chinese diaspora that can relate.
Quite a lot of skiing and snowboarding champions in America and Canada would be like ‘ wait, we all r gold medalists; how can she make tons of money?’ There r so many excellent athletes everywhere and the motive behind is the thing that inspires and sustains how far they could go, which is definitely not the money.
Reading this, I’m thinking back to skater Zhu Yi’s case. It’s just doesn’t seem right to me that she is getting so much unnecessary hate and mockery. I applaud her for getting though this and managed to view things with optimism during her latest attempt. But seriously, some people on the internet need to grow up, regardless of the ethnicity. So it came as no surprise to me that the Chinese government censored the hateful comments.
@@knockknockimhere4554 I am sure you went through Chinese forum and saw the majority is against Zhu Yi? Pfff, another buying into media's one-side story eh? Do you know there are people would talk negatives about Eileen as well, criticizing her coming from a rich family background; born privileged? Haters exists everywhere, and if it is in China, they become freedom fighters or CCP goons?
Why medias especially western ones insist on putting "US-born" in news titles about Eileen Gu? What if your guys use same standard to write about these: The South Africa-born billionaire Elon Mask found the top Ev company Tesla; The Russia-born Sergey Brin co-found the top tech firm Google.

It's hypocritical to just stop caring about her nationality when ordinary people who immigrated overseas get called traitors when they return to visit their extended families. The opportunistic behaviour goes both ways.
You seem to not know much. The US has always benefited from the immigration from China, as many doctors, scientists, and talents who were highly educated immigrated to the US because of the money. Now, Gu Ailing is doing the same except in the opposite direction, but she isn't even adding the value that those Chinese brains added to the US' progress and advancement. The US is just salty that for once, they're not the ones benefitting from this brain drain phenomenon.
@@angeliquewu8318 goes both way...scores of Chinese benefit from American education and opportunities. Also those Chinese immigrate because they see better opportunities, better more free and more culturally relaxed and less pollute life abroad or else why leave your perfect country China? Chinese like all immigrants benefit from immigration to America or else they wouldn't leave their homeland. You still didn't answer the question whether Chinese and Chinese government would be as tolerant if a top China born and China raised athlete decided to represent America instead of China? Would there be legal consequences for that China born athlete & public hate and lynching? Lets not pretend there wouldn't be. America for all its faults is a tolerant and free country. Look at the way Chinese treat athletes who fail versus Americans. Americans are less harsh and for the most part don't berate and publicly lynch athlete for bringing shame to the motherland unlike what China is doing.
@@pinkymoon5039 just to correct you, most Chinese I know, does not think China is perfect or anything like that. You clearly have a misguided view, I think there are many of them (athletes or people with special expertise), one I remember clearly was when top Chinese volleyball player (Ms. Lang Ping) became the first Chinese coach of US women volleyball and coached US team to a gold medal in one of the Olympic and China team lost to her coached team, if I’m not wrong in the semifinal or earlier stage. What you described is more the recent behaviours of US government rather than Chinese, and look at most of the top research scientists in in US universities, most have adopted US as their countries but see how they are being treated by their own government because they are Chinese, on the last counts I read from US papers there are something like over 200 cases pending in the US courts the US government brought against these scientists which is ashamed and these are naturalised US citizens, and hence you see the top physics scientists, the father of the US-born figure skating athlete, Beverly Chu, decided to take his family and went back to China.. you should research and learn more from non-US media or living in Asia will help you broaden your knowledge my dear 😉
Its a practical move to be an endorser and an athlete.Many Is doing that as we know.Not all the time she is an athlete ,she needs a backdoor financially also.
When Eileen Gu joined the Chinese team at this Winter Olympics and won a gold medal for China, the American media and politicians ridiculed Eileen Gu so much, which shows that the United States has lost its due confidence in the face of China now. Americans may have forgotten that Jane Lang, a Chinese women's volleyball player trained by China, once coached the American women's volleyball team after retirement. Jane Lang led the American women's volleyball team to win the silver medal in the 2008 Beijing Olympics, not to mention how many Chinese are there. All areas of the United States serve the United States.Just like the so-called diplomatic boycott of the Olympics by the United States and some Western countries, all this cannot stop China's success. Thousands of athletes and officials from all over the world (including the United States and Western countries) have felt it in Beijing. To the charm of modern China, feel the charm of China's high-tech era. I believe they see the real China, this is just the beginning, this is a big trend, there will be more and more examples like Eileen Gu in the future.
I feel bad for the other American Chinese skier that fell out of grace. Imagine what would happen if the other girl gotten gold. China is catching up on medals count to the top 3. 14 Norway 10 Germany 8 US 8 China 2.17.22 👀
Eileen should ditch her American citizenship after she graduates from university. Right now she's only carrying a PRC passport which is sufficient enough for her to represent the country in international competitions. She's making Chinese dollar but paying American taxes, on top of the Chinese ones. Lots of rich Americans ditch their American citizenship to avoid double taxation. She won't be the first and won't be the last. Whether she will do that is entirely up to her. She has said that she wants to bridge the 2 cultures.
Idk, it's quite a gamble in China since CCP could just seize you and/or your asset if they find you displeasing. Look at Fan Bing bing or Jack Ma. Also the Chinese are quite racist/critical against Chinese outside of China or with foreign blood in them.
I don't think she would, and would make effort to continue to remain in the ambiguous citizenship status she's in now. It'll be very difficult, as she'll be under incredible public scrutiny now for every action. She'll definitely be baited by all sides (China, U.S, etc.) to do or say something controversial, but she seems very smart and actually might pull being impartial and maximize benefits. Of course, this assumes that she doesn't suddenly decide to "take a side" by herself.
China breaking is on rules with dual citizenship to shine in the glory with a foreign top athletic. Hopefully she will earn lots of money and be a icon for the sport and humanity.
She earned her success and I applaud her. However, how is it possible to have 2 citizenships if China doesn't allow it? Can someone explain? It seems like Chinese media mention it but avoid it. I'm not trying to stir drama. I'm curious because there are lots of ethnic Chinese people around the world who are looking for ways to also get their citizenship. If Eileen is allowed to hold dual citizenship, why is no one else?
@@summitgurl Yes, I wouldn't be surprised,Most of the time, the best people are privileged,For example, China has strict and strict immigration policies, but it is very lenient to high-end talents,his is an international universal phenomenon.
She's a mixed girl. And that has lots to do with her endorsements. Estee lauder , Redbull .. wouldn't have been as ready to accept a full Chinese woman regardless Olympian or not as their spokesperson
Eileen Gu a super-human, pretty much the perfect human specimen akin to a beta-test version of Khan from Star Trek Into Darkness, with superior (Han) genetics (Stanford-level IQ/model/world-class athlete, etc.). They should save and freeze every one of her eggs. I hope a scientist can clone her a few times or at least save a sample for future genetic engineering. Such prime DNA should not be squandered China!! 😁
You do understand that her beauty, height and pretty everything the chinese adore come from her european genes? If she were fully asian, she would be nowhere close to where she is now..
How do you think these seafood get to the market? They get stepped and dragged through the floor plenty from the fishing boat to the wholesale market all the way to your store.
She might represent China but she's been training in the States. Her opportunities and education, are from the US NOT China. So let's be real about this.

You still didn't answer the question whether Chinese and Chinese government would be as tolerant if a top China born and China raised athlete decided to represent America instead of China? Would there be legal consequences for that China born athlete & public hate and lynching? Lets not pretend there wouldn't be. America for all its faults is a tolerant and free country. Look at the way Chinese treat athletes who fail versus Americans. Americans are less harsh and for the most part don't berate and publicly lynch athlete for bringing shame to the motherland unlike what China is doing.
@@pinkymoon5039 just to correct you, most Chinese I know, does not think China is perfect or anything like that. You clearly have a misguided view, I think there are many of them (athletes or people with special expertise), one I remember clearly was when top Chinese volleyball player (Ms. Lang Ping) became the first Chinese coach of US women volleyball and coached US team to a gold medal in one of the Olympic and China team lost to her coached team, if I’m not wrong in the semifinal or earlier stage. What you described is more the recent behaviours of US government rather than Chinese, and look at most of the top research scientists in in US universities, most have adopted US as their countries but see how they are being treated by their own government because they are Chinese, on the last counts I read from US papers there are something like over 200 cases pending in the US courts the US government brought against these scientists which is ashamed and these are naturalised US citizens, and hence you see the top physics scientists, the father of the US-born figure skating athlete, Beverly Chu, decided to take his family and went back to China.. you should research and learn more from non-US media or living in Asia will help you broaden your knowledge my dear 😉
Actually some Chinese-born table tennis players have already represented the US.
google "At Least 44 Table Tennis Players in Rio Are Chinese-Born"
they represent over 20 countries including the USA
Its a practical move to be an endorser and an athlete.Many Is doing that as we know.Not all the time she is an athlete ,she needs a backdoor financially also.
She's really pretty
When Eileen Gu joined the Chinese team at this Winter Olympics and won a gold medal for China, the American media and politicians ridiculed Eileen Gu so much, which shows that
the United States has lost its due confidence in the face of China now.
Americans may have forgotten that Jane Lang, a Chinese women's volleyball player trained by China, once coached the American women's volleyball team after retirement. Jane Lang
led the American women's volleyball team to win the silver medal in the 2008 Beijing Olympics, not to mention how many Chinese are there. All areas of the United States serve the United
States.Just like the so-called diplomatic boycott of the Olympics by the United States and some Western countries, all this cannot stop China's success. Thousands of athletes and officials
from all over the world (including the United States and Western countries) have felt it in Beijing. To the charm of modern China, feel the charm of China's high-tech era. I believe they see
the real China, this is just the beginning, this is a big trend, there will be more and more examples like Eileen Gu in the future.
so many 1450 everywhere, they really work hard👏👏👏👏
I feel bad for the other American Chinese skier that fell out of grace.
Imagine what would happen if the other girl gotten gold.
China is catching up on medals count to the top 3.
14 Norway
10 Germany
8 US
8 China

She won't get this much appreciation if she were representing America instead of China
Awesome Eileen Gu!
she wouldn't be getting these endorsement deals if she represented america instead..smart girl..
Eileen should ditch her American citizenship after she graduates from university. Right now she's only carrying a PRC passport which is sufficient enough for her to represent the country in international competitions. She's making Chinese dollar but paying American taxes, on top of the Chinese ones. Lots of rich Americans ditch their American citizenship to avoid double taxation. She won't be the first and won't be the last. Whether she will do that is entirely up to her. She has said that she wants to bridge the 2 cultures.
Idk, it's quite a gamble in China since CCP could just seize you and/or your asset if they find you displeasing. Look at Fan Bing bing or Jack Ma.
Also the Chinese are quite racist/critical against Chinese outside of China or with foreign blood in them.
@@syasyaishavingfun No, it's not
I never understood marketing celebrities. Who really cares that someone famous drinks a “brand” coffee? Weird.
Talented without question, but born and raised in America... And representing China?
She should go to school in China.
Why does it feel like this will all come back to bite her? would she renounce her american citizenship for a chinese one if pressured?
@Modi WhinyThePoor I know they will
I don't think she would, and would make effort to continue to remain in the ambiguous citizenship status she's in now. It'll be very difficult, as she'll be under incredible public scrutiny now for every action. She'll definitely be baited by all sides (China, U.S, etc.) to do or say something controversial, but she seems very smart and actually might pull being impartial and maximize benefits. Of course, this assumes that she doesn't suddenly decide to "take a side" by herself.
@@kirklandcig5513 so sad that athletes who just want to achieve their personal goals in sports are being baited by the public across all countries.
@@sangwoo9686 ikr that's why the Americans are calling her traitor
@@sangwoo9686 When you represent a nation, it is always political. Otherwise there would be no point for the Olympics.
CPP will not like this
I noticed Ms Lu had a New York Yankee knitted hat on amazing to see yankee fans from Beijing coming from a yankee season ticket holder
China breaking is on rules with dual citizenship to shine in the glory with a foreign top athletic. Hopefully she will earn lots of money and be a icon for the sport and humanity.
Freestyle skiing? Half pipe skiing? Those are pretty obscure events.
So what is not obscure then, football? Figure skating?
She earned her success and I applaud her. However, how is it possible to have 2 citizenships if China doesn't allow it? Can someone explain? It seems like Chinese media mention it but avoid it. I'm not trying to stir drama. I'm curious because there are lots of ethnic Chinese people around the world who are looking for ways to also get their citizenship. If Eileen is allowed to hold dual citizenship, why is no one else?
I wouldn't be surprised if the Chinese gov't made an exception for her to be able to hold dual citizenship under her special circumstances.
@@summitgurl Yes, I wouldn't be surprised,Most of the time, the best people are privileged,For example, China has strict and strict immigration policies, but it is very lenient to high-end talents,his is an international universal phenomenon.
Just gold not the people

Okay, show us Zhu Yis!
She's a mixed girl. And that has lots to do with her endorsements. Estee lauder , Redbull .. wouldn't have been as ready to accept a full Chinese woman regardless Olympian or not as their spokesperson
Am I the only one who thinks she looks like Avatar?
my favorite tea brand uses her face, has she sucessfully made a name for herself not just in sports?!?!?
imagine if she was mix black
I see nothing wrong

A long marketing road for this girl.
Little miss they can get on Instagram like me. All they need to do is illegally download a vpn. 🙄
Sorry but I have to say all comments in the interview will change if she hasnt been winning. Stop lying people it's just business
When will this channel cover the chained woman who gave birth to 8 children
Eileen Gu a super-human, pretty much the perfect human specimen akin to a beta-test version of Khan from Star Trek Into Darkness, with superior (Han) genetics (Stanford-level IQ/model/world-class athlete, etc.). They should save and freeze every one of her eggs. I hope a scientist can clone her a few times or at least save a sample for future genetic engineering. Such prime DNA should not be squandered China!! 😁
Her father was a computer scientist from Harvard so she got her IQ from him (westerner). Han is way inferior you should know this
You do understand that her beauty, height and pretty everything the chinese adore come from her european genes? If she were fully asian, she would be nowhere close to where she is now..

Meanwhile they're stepping on your Frozen Seafood in the grocery store
How do you think these seafood get to the market? They get stepped and dragged through the floor plenty from the fishing boat to the wholesale market all the way to your store.
Well she's going to have to deal with lack of privacy from being a celebrity...and some people go very far to show how much they don't care about it
Chose China for the $$

@@camlee2341 facts
Literally lol
Let her stay in China.
She might represent China but she's been training in the States. Her opportunities and education, are from the US NOT China. So let's be real about this.
Her Chinese mother contributed enormously to her education, including spending summer months in China every year.
Let’s be real, she wouldn’t have made it big in the US
Well it's her choice,if you hate it, it's your opinion. Don't twist your opinion into a fact.
Edit: Typo
The real part is that she can never be so successful if competing for US.
Then why can't the US produce someone better than her?
Imagine suddenly waking up being a millionaire
Too bad in the 21st century, being a millionaire isn't significant
@@youtubeshadowbannedme are you millionaire?
She will earn money china will get bost on medal tally win win for both 🏅money
Hopefully they don’t treat her like Zhu Yi should she not be perform her best in the future Olympics

I'll buy all your stocks
hahahahaha...... i can't wait to see what happen when she lost.
Hahahahaha, I can’t wait to see you grow up!
Yes but she is one wrong word from being disappeared for two months like Bing Bing
Look who’s talking...she hasn’t done or said anything wrong and you’re already punishing her!

That is capitalism ..
Gonna cry?

You western idiots keep criticising Chinese people don’t have personal freedom. Then why aren’t you respecting Eileen Gu’s freedom to represent China?
