However, for the titles of "other people's children" and "genius girls", Gu Ailing has her own understanding, she said, "I especially love skiing, and every time I ski is a very happy thing." โ
"Love" is Gu Ailing's most commonly used word, her growth and success are inseparable from these two words, she is the best interpretation of the power of love.
And the first time she discovered her "love" was at the age of three.
01
Abandonment of U.S. citizenship at its peak
Adhere to the love and win glory for the country
In 2003, Gu Ailing was born in Los Angeles. Her parents were both highly intelligent school bullies. His father graduated from Harvard University, and his mother received a master's degree from Stanford University.
Born in such a family, it is inevitable that you will be labeled as "someone else's child". And Gu Ailing did. Since she was a child, she has shown a lot of talent, academically athletically, as well as in appearance, all of which are the most eye-catching in the crowd.
At the age of three, Gu Ailing was officially exposed to skiing. For the rest of the day, she was with her. While her peers were crying and playing, Gu Ailing had learned many professional skiing techniques, and in her words, "I'm busy on the small slope." โ
Because her mother Gu Yan is a ski enthusiast, after Gu Ailing became famous, there were also many doubts, believing that Gu Ailing was forced by her mother to embark on the ski road.
For this, Gu Ailing admitted that she did not have a "tiger mother", on the contrary, her mother gave herself the greatest freedom and encouragement.
Gu Ailing confirmed his love of skiing when he was eight or nine years old. At that time, she joined a ski team, and as the only girl on the team, she did not dare to talk to others. But soon she found a good way to use skiing to communicate with people, to open her heart, to encourage each other.
For example, if a teammate makes a move, she will be envious and think, "I have to try this too." The same way her movements will attract other people's learning challenges. The love was promoted and confirmed.
It was also during this time that Gu Ailing went home and expressed his determination to his mother, "I want to go to the Olympics!" And the mother's answer was very warm and firm - "Come on."
With the encouragement and support of her family, Gu Ailing began to compete in major ski competitions in the United States, and the medals were soft.
โ
At the age of 9, he won the Junior Championship of The National Freestyle Skiing.
At the age of 11, he won the National Under 13 Ramp Steeplechase Championship and the runner-up in the all-around.
At the age of 12, she won seven gold medals in the Northern California women's 13-year-old double board slopestyle, Rail Jam and scramble events.
After that, Gu Ailing began to participate in international ski events, and the dazzling results attracted the U.S. national team. But Gu Ailing has her own plans, and at the age of 15, she took all the pressure and put her inner decision into practice.
"Chinese freestyle skier Gu Ailing reported!"
On June 8, 2019, Gu Ailing posted such an inspiring sentence on social platforms. She officially gave up her American citizenship and became a Chinese citizen to win glory for the country!
After this news broke, goodwill and malice struck at the same time, but Gu Ailing was not affected by it, focusing on his training and life, and successively won a number of championships, becoming the most eye-catching rookie in the skiing industry.
The International Snow Federation even said of her: "Gu Ailing wrote her name into the history of freestyle skiing for the first time, and there may be many more times in the future." โ

In the 2021 Freestyle Ski World Championships, she won 2 gold and 1 bronze in the women's U-shaped track, slope obstacle course and big jumping;
Changing China's history of no gold in the project many times, such dazzling results have made people look forward to her performance in the Next Winter Olympics. And Gu Ailing still clings to her original idea, she said
"I'm not skiing for the Olympics, I did these things initially because I liked it, and then I started racing by the way, and I started winning by the way, which made me like it more and then I did it again."
In this way, it is the love that has created this "other person's child", so it has begun the journey of "winning by the way". The power of love can create miracles and withstand the long years.
