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.

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?
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.

The fact that China gave her a deal (to keep both citizenships) is not fair and right. You can clearly see how she answered the citizenship question from the reporters. It is straight out of PR books. Didn't give a straightforward answer.

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.

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.
