Gu Ailing, a household name that made netizens around the world in 2022, shine in the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, not only let the world know her, but also make Chinese netizens proud of her. China is a sports power, sports stars are everywhere, whether it is flying liu Xiang or basketball superstar Yao Ming, or even diving genius Quan Hongchan, as well as the national table tennis, weightlifting, diving dream team, these athletes can be said to have achieved the honor can be said to be no less than Gu Ailing, so why is Gu Ailing out of the circle, why is the popularity so high?
There are no more than two reasons: first of all, the first point is that the project she participates in is a breakthrough point in Chinese sports, and the athletes we are talking about above are summer sports, and when the Chinese sports team is in the Summer Olympic Games, it has an absolute advantage. On the other hand, the project that Gu Ailing participated in was the ice and snow project, as the name suggests, this is the Winter Olympic Games, although the results of the Chinese team in the Winter Olympics are OK, but compared to the Summer Olympic Games, it is a long way off, can only say that a gold is difficult to find,
And Gu Ailing Winter Olympics won 2 gold medals in one go, and at the same time won 1 silver medal because of a small mistake, if there is no accident, it is 3 gold medals. It is placed in the Summer Olympic Games, it is not easy to get a gold medal, not to mention that in the Winter Olympics to get 2 gold and 1 silver, and the winter Olympics are not as many as the Summer Olympics, so the difficulty of taking 2 gold and 1 silver is quite large.
The second point: Gu Ailing's naturalized identity, as we all know, Gu Ailing is a mixed-race athlete, she has the blood of China and the United States, and she has lived in the United States since she was a child, and she resolutely chose to join the Chinese nationality, which is very touching to Chinese netizens, although the appearance is a bit like a European and American, but she can say a fluent Chinese, for Chinese culture is more understandable, she is not for the competition and choose to join the Chinese nationality, she is because she likes and loves China, will join the Chinese nationality.
So when it comes to the issue of nationality, Gu Ailing has now chosen Chinese nationality, so does it mean that she will represent the Chinese team in the Winter Olympics in the future? After all, he is only 18 years old, and his ski career has just begun! For this question, Gu Ailing also responded positively for the first time.
In an interview with the US media, Gu Ailing asked whether he would participate in the next Winter Olympics. Gu Ailing responded: Who knows? Not yet determined. Gu Ailing's answer surprised Chinese netizens, Gu Ailing's performance in the Winter Olympics has stunned the world, but also became our hero, it is reasonable to say that she should still participate in the Winter Olympics. Secondly, Gu Ailing is only 18 years old, and it is a bit of a waste to give up her sports career early. Through Gu Ailing's answer, it is not difficult to find that the possibility of not participating in the next Winter Olympics is not ruled out, and netizens also feel more regretful. Anyway, at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan, whether Gu Ailing will represent the Chinese team in the Winter Olympics, we should like her as always.
