Gu Ailing can be said to be the "star player" of this Winter Olympics, an hour after the end of the game has almost been interviewed, countless reporters have also prepared a variety of questions, for the reporters' questions, Gu Ailing is also very patient and humble to answer, but also very cooperative with the reporters. Therefore, reporters at home and abroad have a high evaluation of Gu Ailing, and the cheerful and clear expression of his personality is impressive, and for Gu Ailing, his outstanding appearance is the most "worthless" advantage.
"Ski without looking at others, ski yourself!"
Before the competition, Gu Ailing had said that it was already a victory to participate in the Winter Olympics, and that skiing was also a skiing for himself, not looking at others! This good attitude is also praised by everyone. Gu Ailing, who is only 18 years old, can be said to be a talented player, not only good at skiing, but also a high-value school bully. He won the championship when he first participated in the competition, won dozens of gold medals at a young age, and a number of national championships, and after having a certain strength, he chose to give up his American citizenship and join the Chinese nationality in 2019 to participate in the Winter Olympics as a Chinese player.
Last December, at the Colorado Whitewater Tour, Gu Ailing walked to the beginning of the street race.
Not only is she a freestyle skier, Gu Ailing is also a model. Such a dual identity makes some people a little confused. Athlete or supermodel? Is it an idol? Is it a bully? Chinese or American? There are many more questions like this, and so many "titles" also make Gu Ailing face a lot of difficulties.
