During the Tokyo Olympic Games, Quan Hongchan successfully "went out of the circle" and became a mess; after the Beijing Winter Olympic Games, Gu Ailing became the "top" star of Chinese sports and the new darling of major brand owners! Gu Ailing achieved 2 gold and 1 silver in the Winter Olympics, although it is very eye-catching, but it is not so hot. The fundamental reason for Gu Ailing's success in "going out of the circle" is that the project she participated in helped the Chinese team achieve a breakthrough from 0 to 1. Without Gu Ailing, Chinese athletes would have won gold in the event, but it will certainly be years later.
After the Beijing Winter Olympics, Gu Ailing stayed in Beijing for more than 2 months, taking a private jet back to the United States to start her college life! In fact, not only the Chinese media and fans have "pampered" Gu Ailing, but the US media are not willing to let go of any opportunity to interview Gu Ailing. Gu Ailing had just returned to the United States, and the itinerary was occupied by one interview after another. Unlike the Chinese media, the American media are more direct and sharp in interviewing Gu Ailing, but fortunately, Gu Ailing reacted quickly enough to resolve the crisis again and again.
A few days ago, gu ailing in an interview with the US media, was asked whether he will represent China in the 2026 Winter Olympics, Gu Ailing said: Who knows? Not sure yet! Although There was no question in Gu Ailing's answer, her ambiguous answer really hurt Chinese fans. Because in the eyes of the vast majority of netizens, since Gu Ailing represented China in the Beijing Winter Olympics and achieved good results, representing China in the next Winter Olympics is basically a matter of certainty.
But now, in the face of questions from the US media, Gu Ailing did not give an affirmative answer, but gave an ambiguous answer! Although I don't know what Gu Ailing really thinks in her heart, this is definitely not the answer that any Chinese fan wants. In fact, Gu Ailing's controversial things are more than this one. Earlier, before returning to the United States, Gu Ailing posted on social platforms: Thank you China. Therefore, some netizens questioned whether Gu Ailing did not regard China as his motherland, otherwise why not "thank the motherland"?
But for the outside world's doubts, Gu Ailing did not make any response! Personally, I am still very much looking forward to Gu Ailing representing China in the 2026 Winter Olympics, although the Chinese team still has 4 years to prepare, but it is likely to find an athlete of Gu Ailing's level. At that time, the Chinese team will even return to the situation of a gold in the project again, but with Gu Ailing, the situation will become completely different. Do you think Gu Ailing will once again represent China at the 2026 Winter Olympics? Why?
