After 00 Gu Ailing, the next stop tianhou?
In recent years, gu Ailing, who is post-00s, is undoubtedly the rising and one of the figures who have attracted more attention from the outside world.
Gu Ailing has learned to ski since she was a child. At the age of 8, he joined the professional ski team to learn freestyle skiing, participated in the competition the following year and won the junior championship, and at the age of 11 won the national freestyle skiing under 13 slopes obstacle course championship.
Born in 2003, Gu Ailing has won more than 50 gold medals in various competitions, which can be described as a talented girl.
Ailing said, "A bird, it flies, and then it lands, it's a very wonderful thing. I love the feeling that skiing gives me, flying."
In June 2019, Gu Ailing officially announced that she would represent the Chinese team in the Olympic stage, and in the last two years of competitions, Gu Ailing won a number of gold medals for the Chinese team, showing her superior competitive strength. There are also growing expectations that she will play at home in Beijing to impact the gold medal.
Gu Ailing, who has such a sports talent, is also quite enthusiastic about other sports. Once, when she came to China one summer, she joined a basketball team with only one girl, and the outgoing Gu Ailing began to pull the classmates around her, and finally all the classmates came to the basketball class.
In addition, Gu Ailing also likes horseback riding, rock climbing, long-distance running and other sports. At a charity event last May, she also completed her first half-horse race in the 24-kilometer race. During her time at the school, she also frequently participated in piano, ballet, musical theater performances and other artistic activities.
She once said, "The most important thing in life for me is to find what I want to do and enjoy it." In line with what she said, her lifestyle is full and diverse, and her attitude towards life is optimistic and positive, which also conveys to the outside world a life value full of positive energy. It is no wonder that some netizens commented: In her, I felt the exuberance, beauty and infinite possibilities of life.
As an ice and snow athlete, Gu Ailing is also eager to inspire more people to participate in ice and snow. "A lot of people will watch the Olympics, maybe some people have never heard of the sport before, but when they see me on TV, maybe they think: Hey, we're the same age, she can do this, I can too!" 」
Once, after winning the championship, when the media asked her how to celebrate, Gu Ailing gave an unexpected answer: "Because of training and competition, I was too late to celebrate, and I had to go back to my homework when I was nervous." The cheerful personality coupled with excellent results not only narrowed the distance between Gu Ailing and the young people, but also made her have a great influence on the female group.
"I feel super lucky to have the opportunity to encourage girls and teenagers to participate in skiing." Now, many young people and girls in Gu Ailing's social media comments have said that they have begun to contact skiing and hope to fly freely on the snow like her.
In the upcoming cycle of the ice and snow festival, Gu Ailing will undoubtedly be an important figure representing Chinese women's sports, and even she is likely to be the leading figure among sports female idols.
Because she has such a temperament, whether it is her outstanding competitive achievements, or her outgoing and open personality and enthusiastic attitude towards life, or her unique charm, affinity and appeal, this links her with a high-quality sports idol.
In this cycle, she is bound to lead more people into the ice and snow, which is also the goal and desire she has always wanted to achieve.

To promote ice and snow sports, Gu Ailing has been on the road
After August last year, with the approaching of the Winter Olympics, Gu Ailing's endorsement also ushered in a "hot" output - on August 11, IWC announced that skier Gu Ailing joined the brand family; on August 17, Bank of China announced the signing of Freestyle Ski World Champion Gu Ailing as an image spokesperson, and on the same day, Gu Ailing also became the "China Mobile 5G Ice and Snow Promotion Ambassador".
Gu Ailing has said many times in interviews that she hopes to become a promoter of ice and snow sports and encourage more people, especially more women, to participate in the sport. After officially becoming the "China Mobile 5G Ice and Snow Promotion Ambassador", Gu Ailing frankly said: "I hope to use my experience and work with China Mobile to attract and encourage more Chinese young people to participate in ice and snow sports in the way of 'technology + culture'."
With "appearance + talent", Gu Ailing has always been a "fragrant feast" in the sports market, after which Anta, Mengniu and Sankeshu signed endorsement contracts with Gu Ailing, and in June, Gu Ailing became one of the spokespeople of Tiffany and "Victoria's Secret". From the perspective of commercial value, Gu Ailing has entered the ranks of domestic first-class athletes.
Of course, we also expect Gu Ailing to create a new story of bravely climbing the peak. This very affinity treasure girl not only has impressive achievements, extremely high sports and learning talents, handsome appearance, but also a positive attitude and values. Starting with achievements and finally having a charismatic personality, Gu Ailing has almost occupied all the conditions for becoming a new idol in the Chinese sports world.
After joining hands with major brands, a fuller and more three-dimensional ice and snow idol has the opportunity to be displayed in front of the public, whether it is the dissemination and promotion of ice and snow sports or the independent development of women's sports, which will be a good thing.
Behind gu Ailing's brilliance is women's sports in the rise of the world.
In recent years, whether it is women's basketball, women's volleyball, women's football or women's table tennis, women's sports have also received more and more attention from the public, and have gained the favor of capital and sponsorship, which is also a proof of the continuous extension of women's sports charm.
Previously, Nielsen also released a report after market research in the United States, Britain, France and other countries, women's sports are considered more inspiring than men's sports, "compared with men's sports, women's sports are considered to be more progressive, less money-oriented, more family-oriented, more pure."
When the Olympic Games open their arms and blow a new wind of world sports change, we need to pass this spirit to more people in the era when women continue to participate in sports.
We also believe that Gu Ailing, who has a talent and a sharp face, the future stage is by no means limited to the ice and snow arena, and she has the opportunity to become the next high-profile female sports idol from more dimensions.
Finally, let us congratulate Gu Ailing on creating good results, and also look forward to her being able to achieve more excellent results in the next stage of the Beijing Winter Olympics!
