Gu and Zhu Yi, a fellow American-born athlete who now competes for China, were paid for "striving for excellent results" in the 2026 Milan Winter Olympics.

Chinese megastar skier Eileen Gu recently revealed the true reason why she picked to represent China over the USA at the Olympics.

One of the two silver medals was won by Eileen Gu, who is said to be the richest athlete taking part in the 2026 Winter Olympic Games. The 22-year-old, born in San Francisco, California, represents China through her mother's side, and she won silver in the freestyle skiing slopestyle behind Switzerland's Mathilde Gremaud.

Chinese Olympic star Eileen Gu condemned President Trump’s harsh criticism of American skier Hunter Hess after he expressed “mixed emotions” about representing the US at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan-Cortina.

The San Francisco-born skier isn’t new to the Olympics, and neither are questions about the country she competes for.

After winning silver in the 2026 Winter Olympics freeski slopestyle, Eileen Gu admitted that the immense pressure of representing both China and the U.S. weighed heavily on her throughout the fiercely competitive event.

After details of payments from Beijing’s sports bureau to freestyle skiing champion Eileen Gu were accidentally revealed last year, her name was quickly scrubbed from the budget.
