On May 5, Beijing time, the latest news about Gu Ailing came. Gu Ailing, 18 years old this year, represented the Chinese team at the Beijing Winter Olympics and won 2 gold and 1 silver. In fact, since naturalizing in China in 2019, Gu Ailing has won too many gold medals for the Chinese team, but after going to the United States to study, whether Gu Ailing will continue to play as a Chinese athlete in the future is also a big question. Previously, Gu Ailing had bluntly said that she had reached the highest peak in the field of skiing and hoped to try other fields.
After participating in the Met Gala, Gu Ailing was interviewed by the American media and also participated in the Today Show, responding to many questions of interest to everyone.
First of all, Gu Ailing responded to the reason for joining the Chinese team in an interview with the US media, because of her mother Gu Yan. "I didn't expect to get so much attention in China, sometimes people don't know the story behind it, don't know where I'm coming from, some people choose to close their ears, I repeat it 100 times to motivate women and kids to ski, I only do it because my mom has Chinese ancestry, if some people don't believe it, then there's nothing I can do."
This is the first time that Gu Ailing has officially responded to the specific reasons after becoming a naturalized Chinese, which is enough to see that Gu Ailing's mother Gu Yan hopes that her daughter can represent the Chinese team, so Gu Ailing agreed. Gu Yan is a native of Beijing, she also studied at Peking University, and is a relatively successful person in China.
This time, Gu Ailing also responded to whether he will continue to represent the Chinese team in the Olympic Games in the future. Gu Ailing will focus on her studies for the next few years, and she will enter Stanford University in the fall. And Gu Ailing basically will not participate in such a competition as the World Championships, after all, she has almost won all the championships, and the Olympic Games is the most grand event, 4 years later in the Milan Winter Olympics, Gu Ailing is almost graduating, will she continue to play?
The American host asked, "Can we still see you at the Olympic Games, will you still participate", and Gu Ailing also officially responded, "Who knows, I still love skiing very much, this sport can express my personality, and it is also what it makes me now." Of course, why not. But let's look at my college life first."
Gu Ailing is also a promise that he will continue to participate in the Olympic Games, that is to say, in the Milan Winter Olympics 4 years later, Gu Ailing will basically represent the Chinese team, so everyone should be relieved. Gu Ailing is a Chinese athlete, and she can only play for the Chinese team in the future.
Two days ago, Gu Ailing also posted on Chinese social media, and she also told fans that she was looking forward to meeting next time. That is to say, Gu Ailing will find time to return to China in the future, which makes people look forward to it very much.
