In the blink of an eye, the Beijing Winter Olympics was two years ago, and the wonderful performance of Chinese Winter Olympics athletes is still vivid. In two years, the 2026 Milan Winter Olympics is about to start, and one of the things that Chinese netizens are most concerned about is whether Gu Ailing will continue to represent China. At this critical juncture, Gu Ailing gave fans who care about her a reassurance. In the face of the American media, Gu Ailing made it clear that she would continue to represent China in the Milan Winter Olympics.
In the history of Chinese sports, Gu Ailing is one of the most successful naturalized athletes. At the Beijing Winter Olympics, Gu Ailing represented the Chinese team and won two golds and one silver. The Chinese team and Gu Ailing can be said to be mutually successful. Gu Ailing's joining not only helped China's ice and snow make history, but also increased the people's enthusiasm for ice and snow sports, and completed the goal of 300 million people on ice and snow. The Chinese team also provided the best platform for Gu Ailing, after winning the Winter Olympics, Gu Ailing successfully broke the circle, and her influence was even more phenomenal. Gu Ailing, who is only in her early 20s, is at the peak of her studies, career, and competitive status, and she is a proper winner in life.
However, in the past two years, the controversy surrounding Gu Ailing has never stopped. Since Gu Ailing went to Stanford to study, there have been many black fans attacking Gu Ailing, and Gu Ailing's reputation has begun to show a polarizing trend. In addition, since Li Tie was taken away in the second half of 2022, the anti-corruption and anti-counterfeiting storm in Chinese football has gradually spread to the entire sports world, and Liu Aijie, who is in charge of Gu Ailing's naturalization, is also in prison, which casts a shadow on Gu Ailing's contract renewal. Fortunately, the relevant parties also sent people to take over the work in a timely manner, and completed the docking with Gu Ailing, and the suspense finally settled on the two-year countdown to the Winter Olympics.
This time, it was first revealed that Gu Ailing represented China in the Winter Olympics was the authoritative American media Associated Press, so the credibility of the news is very high. The Associated Press reported that Gu Ailing made it clear in a recent interview that she plans to continue to represent China at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy. Gu said that this will give thousands of Chinese girls the opportunity to see the potential of ice and snow sports, and hope to play a bigger role in the wider women's sport.
In fact, Gu Ailing has stood at a certain height more than once to speak for girls, and she does have the strength and qualifications, Gu Ailing has lived the ideal appearance that most women hope for. Some time ago, Gu Ailing was injured in training, but she still challenged herself, participated in the XGames U-groove competition, and won the championship with an injury. However, to be on the safe side, Gu Ailing withdrew from the XGames slopestyle competition. In such extreme sports, when competing with injuries, athletes will instinctively dare not pick up the injured and sick places, but Gu Ailing can overcome her instinct, which is beyond ordinary people.
As Gu Ailing said: "This sport requires a lot of sacrifice, and sometimes being the best is not just about beating your opponents, but also about beating yourself. "I hope Gu Ailing will recover soon, fight in the arena again, challenge herself, and challenge her limits.
