I just wanted to see her deported when she comes back to the US, that or have her image in China shattered when it turns out she didn’t renounce her citizenship

Huh?

Guys she is 18! We’re you perfect at 18?

Why are adults being so mean to a talented intelligent young woman? Every interview I see makes me like her more. She is clearly well liked by other female
athletes and acts like a good sport. She stated she took a long time to
Make the decision to compete for China and in part because she wanted to inspire girls there to try a new sport - and that has worked big time just as the Philippino skier is causing a big spike in winter sports participation there. Is having young people
Trying new sports going to save the world ? Obviously no, but they are positive role Models for youth to get off their phones and try new sports. Plus she works hard at school.

I think she is an amazing role mode for my teen DD by just getting out there and going for her dreams fearlessly.

Did you renounce your citizenship at 18 to compete for another country?

Exciting to watch when it worked though …

She did not renounce her citizenship … there are circumstances when people can have dual citizenship.

Gu could eventually become a great diplomat to communicate American perspectives to Chinese leaders on fair competition in trade …she is trusted and respected in China now.

Not with China

Is anyone even going to bother to watch the women's skating? That's always my favorite event, and I won't be tuning in. I'm soured on the entire Olympics from that stupid scandal and haven't watched since they said she could compete.

She promised to renounce her citizenship in order to compete for China, but it's doubtful she loves China that much. Is that better?

I’m going to watch it (eventually; it’s my least favourite figure skating event tbh so I’m going to finish catching up on men’s and dance first) but I agree that the whole doping thing has made it way less enjoyable. I feel so bad for the Russian kids but also for all the other skaters who might not be getting a fair competition. 😔

I'm pulling so hard for Kaori Sakamoto.

I heard from the news that her lawyers are blaming her contaminated sample on her accidentally ingesting her grandfather heart medication. What a joke!

Inspiring girls my *ss. She did it for money plain and simple. Not saying that's wrong, we all love money. Some of us are even willing to sell our souls for it.

China does not typically allow dual citizenship, however, I am willing to bet that they were willing to make concession to get their pretty little pawn.

the fact that she will not come clean on her citizenship status makes it pretty clear that she did not give up her US citizenship. She does not love China that much, but she does love the money.

At this point, I'm pulling for any woman except the Russians, and I used to be a fan of the Russian ladies. I don't believe any of them are clean now. Why would the coaches stop at just one girl? The other 2 just didn't get caught.

I feel the same as you, PP, but probably won't be able to resist watching. I've always defended the Olympic movement, but this might be the year that broke the Olympics for me. It's maddening and so unfair to anyone competing clean.

Anyone who thinks any Russian program is remotely clean is totally ignoring the reason that the country as a whole was banned in the first place.
