Who is the most popular player at the Beijing Winter Olympics? The answer is certainly Gu Ailing, a Chinese free skater known as the "Ski Princess."
Sweet and frank, confident and cheerful Gu Ailing, since the beginning of the Beijing Winter Olympic cycle, has been the focus of attention of the two major sports powers in China and the United States. After winning the world championship at the age of 16, the talented ski girl of mixed Chinese and American descent made a shocking decision to renounce her American citizenship and officially become a Chinese national.
The phrase "Chinese freestyle skier Gu Ailing reported" made this self-styled "Beijing girl" a focus of attention for hundreds of millions of people. After all, in the history of Chinese sports, there are many athletes who have gone abroad to play on behalf of other countries, but there is no precedent for athletes like Gu Ailing, who have the world's top level and choose to represent China at their peak.
From 2019 to 2022, Gu Ailing represented the Chinese sports delegation in the world arena and won gold and silver, and her appearance gave China the strength to compete with the world's top ski powers in snow sports.
Gu Ailing has thus become the most potential and valuable star among China's post-00 athletes and the darling of major brands. Before the opening of the Beijing Winter Olympics, Gu Ailing won 23 commercial endorsement contracts in one fell swoop, which is completely a collection of thousands of pets.
The popular Gu Ailing will participate in three competitions at the Beijing Winter Olympics, namely the women's freestyle ski jump, the women's freestyle ski U-shaped track, and the women's slope obstacle course. In these 3 events, Gu Ailing has the strength to win medals and even impact gold medals.
Gu Ailing's Winter Olympic debut was the women's freestyle ski jump, and after reaching the final with a 5th place in the preliminaries, Gu Ailing encountered a strong challenge from France's Tess Ludd and Switzerland's Mathilde Grimau in the final.
In the first jump, Gu Ailing made a two-week deflection rotation 1440 grab board, scoring 93.75 points, behind Tess Ludd, who made 1620 moves. In the second jump, Gu Ailing made a two-week left turn on the deflection rotation body 1080 double grasp board, the difficulty was slightly lower, only to get 88.50 points.
At this time, whether Gu Ailing can win the first Olympic gold medal depends on this crucial third jump. At this time, Gu Ailing's mother suggested that she do 1440 and try to keep the silver medal. But this time, Gu Ailing did not listen to her mother,000, and she decided to challenge the world's highest difficulty — to do the 1620 grab board she had never tried before.
Unbelievable! Fly like a dragon! Only to see Gu Ailing's athletic figure take off in the air, gracefully turning around in the air for four and a half circles, and landing steadily on the ground. The audience was amazed, the highest score of 94.5 points in the whole game, conquered the audience, conquered the referee, and conquered the opponent.
Letting go and turning the tables in adversity, Gu Ailing won the Olympic gold medal representing the world's highest honor in the "non-strongest project" that he only trained for more than a year, which can be called the highest realm of Versailles. After Gu Ailing scored, he did not forget to celebrate at the first time, but knelt down on one knee, but comforted Tess-Ludd, who lost the gold medal at the last moment, and once again circled countless fans.
This is the first Olympic gold medal won by the Chinese sports delegation in the women's snow event, and Gu Ailing has inadvertently created a new history. This new generation of Chinese sports idols infects everyone with her self-confidence and enthusiasm, and conveys China's voice to the world.
This is the strength of genius, this is the Gu Ailing that everyone loves! I don't want to be an idol, I just want to be a friend of Everyone's Gu Ailing!
