Gu Ailing: My mission is to introduce free skiing to the new generation in China

In the Beijing Winter Olympics freestyle ski women's big jump event qualification event held on the 7th, China's Gu Ailing played well in the third jump in the case of a mistake in the second jump, and finally advanced to the final without any danger.

In an interview after the game, Gu Ailing said: "The ability to make changes has nothing to do with age. ”

Gu Ailing, who grew up in San Francisco, California, represented her mother's hometown in the Beijing Winter Olympics.

Gu Ailing said: "Since 2019, I have chosen to represent China with the aim of introducing the sport to a new generation of Chinese, many of whom have never heard of free skiing before. ”

"My mission has always been to promote the sport and share the joy of sport and the love of the outdoors... Looking back, there are 300 million people in China today trying ice and snow sports, which is fantastic. As long as I can play even the most insignificant role in it, I will be satisfied that I have achieved my goals. She said.

Ms. Gu, 18, said she disagreed with the notion that "people have to grow up to have global influence." "Especially now, this is a different time, it's time for us to make a difference, and we need to use our own voices to speak out on topics that we think are relevant to us." She said.

Asked how she felt about her first Olympic participation in China, Gu Ailing turned around and showed off the golden dragon pattern behind her black race suit.

"This is a dress I designed with Chinese elements." Gu Ailing said.
