It is straight out of PR books. Didn't give a straightforward answer.

She owes you nothing. Go find something worthwhile to feel hurt about, not some 18 year old. She broke no law. She broke no rules. She doesn’t need to give up her citizenship because you are not her fan.

Anyone else here think the real problem is the IOC? People should compete for the country where they live. If an athlete moves to China or any other country I have no issue with them competing for that country. If an athlete moves to the USA of course they should be allowed to compete for the USA.

The issue is when they don’t actually move and become a part of that country. If Gu moves and lives in China then cool, her choice compete there. The USA has had plenty of athletes move here and compete. It’s the sham of it, she visits China and has never lived there. This is a IOC issue, people should compete where they live.

Hey sweetheart, Eileen Gu spends more than 50% of her time in China since 2019! She has residences both in US and in China. Do you have problem with that?

I had no idea my worthiness in this country is so heavily judged by "real" Americans as depending on how devoted to America vs. my home country I am.

Ignore the low IQ rubes.

This is 19th century thinking. People move globally now.

The Olympics was in Beijing, she was multi cultural and the difference between her being here was in China is probably a xx million dollars. She capitalized on it. I'm sure everybody posting on this thread would have done the same had they had the opportunity. So stop judging her.

Shes making money off a country currently committing ethnic cleansing sponsored by the state. They only make triangles as obtuse as you within the realm of non-euclidean geometry.

And this can be said of all the Olympic athletes who hopped on planes to further themselves by being willing participants in China’s. If Olympic show. Nevermind the fact that you are probably posting from your Chinese made iPad.

That's beyond idiotic. Citizenship yes. Domicile no. It is beyond absurd to suggest that Ovechkin should be on Team USA.

LOL is this just for Eileen Gu or for everyone? Were you also not a big fan of Christine Fraser, an ice dancer from Palo Alto who represented, drum roll, Azerbaijan? And is a four-times Azerbaijan national champion and a two-time Olympian representing this country?

Guess not. White people get a pass. But Asians shouldn't be allowed to put on airs, oh no.

Except she trains in Tahoe and goes to Stanford. 50% my ass. She probably spends no more than 1-2 months out of the year in China.

Her mother who raised her is Chinese and has an MBA from Stanford. Although born in the US, she has every right to compete for China and Stanford who loves to have gold medalists as students has every right to accept her.

People should not attack Chinese athletes because they don't approve of Chinese government policies.

Congrats Eileen!

Yes they should, especially when it is an American citizen helping to spread China's soft power and propaganda. It's amazing how blind you are to this charade. Everyone in the world knows what China is doing to Uyghurs, yet they try to trot out faces like Gu to soften their image while in the back they are committing state sponsored genocide. The fact that an American is helping them do this is utterly absurd, and totally hypocritical.

You remind me this

She took gap year and won't start Stanford until summer this year sweetheart! And why can't she stay in US if she goes to school here?? Learn some facts before you talk. This is a tip for a shallow minded person like you! You are welcome!

What about the American athletes sent by their American government to compete for America (although so far they are not doing that well) at these "Chinese" Olympics ? Aren't they helping China too?

And what about Americans who are paying any attention to the Olympics? Aren't they helping China too?

They have every reason in the world to attack an American citizen born and raised in the United States who makes a conscious decision to make a deal with the CCP and represent the CCP on the world stage. This is her choice. And choices have consequences.
