1. The genius girl of San Francisco
A talented girl from a Kochi family in California, USA.
A family can be described as a top school bully. Grandpa is a Stanford high-achieving student, his father graduated from Harvard, his mother Gu Yan is a Beijinger, and his undergraduate Peking University master graduated from Stanford, his parents are so excellent, and his children must have been stressed from an early age.
But when Gu Ailing was a child, she definitely had nothing to do with the word "chicken baby". Gu Yan completely from the interest to teach the daughter, the daughter likes the piano or dance although to learn, to try everything, do not give a little pressure.
Because Gu Yan herself is a "restless" bully. When I was at Peking University, I was a member of the short track speed skating team and also obtained a ski instructor qualification certificate.
When she was studying in the United States, Gu Yan worked as a ski instructor while going to school.
With such a mother, Gu Ailing soon found that she also had a special love for skiing.
When she was 3 years old, Gu Ailing followed her mother to the ski resort for the first time and found that this sport is completely more interesting than music and dance! Seeing that her daughter was interested, Gu Yan became her daughter's enlightenment coach.
After the age of 8, Gu Ailing went to the club for formal training, and soon, Gu Ailing won the championship in the junior group. He won his first gold medal at the age of 9. At the age of 13, Gu Ailing has been unable to find a rival among his peers, competed with the adult group, and won the championship due to illness. The following year, 50 gold medals had been accumulated.
In 2019, Gu Ailing participated in the FIS World Cup Women's Free Steeplechase And Won Her First World Cup Gold Medal. At the age of 18, she became the first female player to complete the Freeski Double Cork 1440 skill.
Not only is the ski performance eye-catching, Gu Ailing is also a qualified IMG contract model, going to LV to shoot advertising campaigns, serving as an IWC brand ambassador, becoming a Tiffany spokesperson, and her aura is not inferior to that of a supermodel.
In 2020, 17-year-old Gu Ailing was selected into Forbes China's "30 Under 30 Elites" list, becoming the youngest entrant in the history of the list.
Having completed the above achievements, he is now only 18 years old, with a capital letter in bold "the future can be expected".
2, low-key endorsement of xiao tianhou
In the past year, more and more people have noticed that she is still a low-key spokesperson.
It is no surprise that Gu Ailing has been able to stand out from domestic athletes, coupled with the superior figure formed by long-term sports, Gu Ailing has become very popular in the field of fashion.
On January 4, 2022, JD Retail also took advantage of the start of the Olympic Games to officially announce Gu Ailing as the brand spokesperson. A string of numbers indicates the current business value of Gu Ailing.
In August last year, Gu Ailing became the brand ambassador of IWC, sharing the identity of the great devil Kate Blanchett and the "big devil" Kate Blanchett, and the influence is evident.
In September 2021, Gu Ailing intensively announced 5 brand endorsements.
Although he is only eighteen years old, he is full of filming experience, and in 2017, 14-year-old Gu Ailing starred as a skier in the promotional film of The North Face Ski Protection Series.
At the age of 15, Gu Ailing sat in the stands of Paris Fashion Week. "Is this 15 years old?"
The big magazines "Harper's Bazaar", "Vogue", "Fashion Cosmo", "Elle", Gu Ailing has long reached the "Grand Slam".
It is no wonder that these brands will find her, Gu Ailing's street photography is a blockbuster, the model body mixed face and bronze skin take advantage, and the simple and atmospheric texture is hanging vertically and vertically to beat the small family's net red posing.
Her wearing principle is also the model's same atmospheric style - simple to wear, simple slim model on the short and long legs, light and comfortable black and white onepiece is her favorite, high-end sense of hand.
The photographer who filmed her was simply so happy, without considering the strengths and avoiding the shortcomings, a slim black and white suit, easy to wear a statue-like sense of life.
She is a dedicated Tiffany spokesperson, jewelry is mostly stacked gold, black and white gold is the main theme of her wear color, very lining her skin and hair color, basically can not go wrong.
Now Gu Ailing's endorsement value is 2.5 million US dollars (equivalent to 15 million yuan) after tax, which shows the ability to absorb gold.
Throughout last year, the entertainment industry's continuous idol disqualification has greatly reduced the trust of brands in traffic stars. A sunny, inspirational, positive sports idol is obviously more marketable, so it is also more popular.
From fashion magazine covers to advertising shoots, brands are scrambling to throw olive branches. After the Olympic Games, Gu Ailing's endorsement fee is bound to rise.
After all, a sunshine girl who wins glory for the country, which brand does not want?
3. Beautiful female students with only "0.1%" talent
Facts have proved that most of the excellent people will develop in an all-round way, and they can also develop exceptionally well.
Although Gu Ailing lives in the wealthy district of San Francisco, she grew up in a full-time middle school, doing homework like all students on weekdays, and taking her mother's car for eight hours on weekends to travel between the school and the Lake Tahoe Ski Resort.
Her hobbies are not play tickets, and classmates say that she often goes to school with three pieces of clothing, and after school, sometimes plays football, sometimes takes ballet lessons, piano lessons, changes clothes in the car, eats, and studies between the gaps has long been commonplace.
If you can balance the three things of school, skiing, and modeling, you must have strong self-discipline. Her spare time is varied, she is fully engaged in everything, and equestrianism is even her specialty.
How much sweat it takes to get the road to championship is unimaginable to outsiders. Although she is regarded as a talented girl by the outside world, Gu Ailing said in an interview with Ma Dong that her skiing talent is actually only "0.1%", which is understandable.
There is no genius, genius is just someone else 3 years old is still crying, she has been practicing on the slope.
However, the most favorable thing is Gu Ailing's sense of national belonging, Gu Ailing has often returned to China with her mother in the summer to visit her family since she was a child, and she said fluent Beijing films.
In 2019, she finally chose to renounce her U.S. citizenship and become a Chinese citizen. He also posted on the SNS platform: "Chinese freestyle skier Gu Ailing reported! ”

Since childhood, she has been trained by the United States, but has worked for China, and many American netizens are still spraying her as "ungrateful" until now. But Gu Ailing did not have the heart to fight with these tongues, but has been speaking out for the violence that discriminates against Asians, and enthusiastically participates in public welfare undertakings.
Grandma often appears in Gu Ailing's ins, and in the photo, you can often see the two making Chinese food together to bathe the cat and travel together. Gu Ailing always has a full smile, perhaps from such a relaxed and warm family atmosphere.
The three events in which Gu Ailing participated are also called "extreme sports" in ice and snow sports, and the gold content of medals is extremely high, which is one of the few gold points for Chinese snow sports in the Winter Olympics.
If you can stand on the stage of the Winter Olympics in these three events, whether you can win the championship or not, Gu Ailing has already written a new history of China's snow sports. Everyone believes that as long as there is no injury, Gu Ailing is the closest seed to the podium.
