[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Zhu would not have made team USA. This happens all the time and is a non issue. We have plenty of athletes that won gold for the USA but grew up and trained somewhere else.

Gu is different. She is a superstar, best in the world at what she does. When she made the china decision she was already the best and firmly #1 on team USA with a guaranteed spot which makes the China choice a mystery (I’ve heard her explanation but something seems off). Now she was also 15 years old and did what her mom told her, you absolutely can’t blame her as the mom is a known tiger mom and I’m sure it was the moms choice.[/quote]

It's no mystery at all.  A female snowboarder who wins multiple golds for the US will get some endorsements, but nothing spectacular.  A female snowboarder who was raised in the US, but decided to compete for China, who had Chinese heritage, and wins multiple golds?  The best china has ever done in the winter olympics is 7th in medal count, and they're usually around 12-15.  The most golds they've ever won is 5, and she may will 3 all by herself.  She is absolutely going to clean up in endorsements, modeling contracts, etc.

She has the chance to set herself up with generational wealth by doing this.  [/quote]
