Since Gu Ailing won the gold medal in the freestyle ski women's big jump event, all of China is proud of her.
With Gu Ailing's various reports sweeping the whole network, some people began to care about such a young and excellent ski champion, it is not easy to find a mother-in-law;
Some people even care that Gu Ailing's biological father is not a Silicon Valley predator, with a deep background?
Afterwards, the parties have clarified that the Silicon Valley man is not Gu Ailing's biological father.
At the age of 18, she has already won more than a dozen gold medals, and Gu Ailing is like a genius girl in people's mouths, with wonderful and rich life experiences.
In addition to winning world certification in skiing, Gu Ailing also became a school bully like her mother, won the olive branch of Stanford, and was certified by a prestigious school.
Study well, exercise well, win glory for the country, 18-year-old Gu Ailing lived the first half of his life dazzlingly.
Everyone was cheering for her and wondering about her, what kind of opportunity would make a young girl multi-tasking and proficient?
01
The wonderful life of a talented girl
Gu Ailing not only skis well, but also has a good long-distance running performance, and the Internet says that Gu Ailing's best time in 800 meters is 2 minutes and 36 seconds.
From the beginning of the valley, Ailing loved to play basketball, and when he grew up, he also learned equestrianism;
When I have free time, I also go to play golf, climbing and shooting.
In the summer, she will ski on the water, because she loves it, and she has been skiing since she was a child.
Gu Ailing's love for sports is from the bottom of his heart, because of his love, so all kinds of sports are played decently.
In addition to sports, Gu Ailing's life is more exciting is that she used her spare time to learn to dance ballet, play the piano, and perform stage plays.
Her leisure time is spent playing in sports, and the rest of the time is spent learning different skills.
Not only did she not complain, she did everything well.
Her high demands on herself are not due to the pressure of the people around her, but because she has expectations of herself and a passion for things that she is curious about.
To do the best within your own ability is not to compare others, but not to lose to yourself.
Gu Ailing was raised by her mother alone, and her mother gave her all the care and understanding from an early age.
And it has always encouraged her to do everything without shame, and it is good that she works hard.
Her mother would not question her choice or discourage her thoughts.
Therefore, Gu Ailing is doing many things that other children of the same age have not thought of.
Some parents may feel that when their children are studying, they just need to concentrate on reading, but Gu Ailing's mother supports her to do whatever she wants.
Gu Ailing has filmed many groups of fashion blockbusters in China, and privately has a set of experience for her own outfits, and has also been praised by foreign media.
While doing sports training, while taking fashion photos, these extracurricular activities that seem to delay their studies in the eyes of parents have not affected Gu Ailing.
She completed all of her high school classes a year early, and her SAT score was only 20 points away from the perfect score of 1600.
The wonderful thing about her life is that she is not solidified by learning or sports, and she has multiple choices in her life.
Learning is what she loves, because she knows that her mother is studying at Stanford and her father is studying at Harvard, and she herself does not want to be left behind.
Sports are also her passion, so in addition to the time spent studying, she will rush to the pistes with joy.
Doing everything well is not because of other people's requests, but from the desires of your own heart.
There is no pressure, just go all out, so it can be successfully completed.

Grades are not the most important thing, the most important thing is enthusiasm
Gu Ailing said a very sober sentence:
"I have a lot of different things to do, my life is not just about skiing, but skiing is a part of my liking."
An 18-year-old girl who lives more transparently than many others.
Champions, medals, national representatives, for many people are heavy things, heavy burdens that are oppressed on the body.
But for Gu Ailing, she didn't take fame and applause very seriously, she just enjoyed skiing at the Winter Olympics.
For players from other countries who have accidents on the field, Gu Ailing chose to go forward to help and give encouragement for the first time.
Because she was one of them, she understood the hardships endured by the national team.
It's just that she has her own way to relieve stress, skiing is because of love, not the burden of life.
Therefore, her life is different from that of athletes in other countries, in addition to sports, she also has to go abroad to study, but also to dress carefully, understand fashion, and do a lot of things that interest her.
It is precisely because she does not tie the game to her life, so the game does not burden her.
At the same time, we will not deny ourselves because we win or lose, but we will see every competition as an opportunity to realize ourselves.
The most rare thing in life is to live incredibly positively and see the results thoroughly.
At a young age, Gu Ailing told the truth that many adults did not understand, and also let everyone see that the future life is terrible.
As Gu Ailing said: "The most important thing in life for me is to find a thing you like to do and then enjoy it." ”

More important than winning or losing is leaving no regrets
This time Gu Ailing won the gold medal, and the third jump 1620 won her a great advantage, which was very difficult.
And Gu Ailing's decision to jump this action took only a few seconds, which was simply a decision that shocked everyone.
In the post-match interview, I learned that Gu Ailing had never practiced the 1620 jump in actual combat, but only practiced on the air cushion for a day or two, and then reviewed it in his mind.
In the end, she decided to jump this time just because she wanted to try it and didn't want to leave herself with regrets.
The result is that Gu Ailing not only did a good job, but also won a gold medal with this difficult action.
After doing this, all the skiers boiled over.
Because she was the first female athlete to complete such a super difficult move.
For this success, Gu Ailing also enjoyed it very much.
She said in a post-match interview: "I don't even think about the future game now, I think about it now, and I am very, very happy now! ”
Her success is like a pleasure in skiing.
She just wanted to devote herself to the sport, to complete what she thought was perfect and change the skiing action temporarily.
It is this sense of enjoyment that makes her unique in the competition, winning easy and perfect.
In addition to the sense of enjoyment that drives Gu Ailing's efforts, there is also a sense of mission.
For Gu Ailing, the most important thing in life is to find a favorite thing to enjoy it, and the second important thing is to change the world.
When she was a child in the United States, Gu Ailing participated in a ski team with only male classmates and no female classmates, and she felt isolated and incomprehensible.
It is also appreciated that men have a greater possibility than women to participate in sports-related careers, which many consider merely men's missions.
Gu Ailing does not think so, she believes that women should be more active in expressing their abilities and participating in it.
Women should also be encouraged to join more actively, constantly pushing themselves and breaking their boundaries.
So she not only likes to ski but also participate in national competitions, just to tell more people through her own efforts: female athletes are just as good as men.
Everyone's life should not set limits on others because they have opinions of themselves.
Whether it is a woman or a man, they can realize the value of life through their own efforts.
More and more good women are telling us a truth through their own influence: women are just as good as men!
