Eileen Gu became the most decorated female freestyle skier in Olympic history earlier this week, and it’s safe to say she wants to be treated like one.
Gu, 22, was born in California and currently studies at Stanford University but chooses to compete for China, where her mother was born. She won two silver medals in the women’s slopestyle and big air events in Milan, bringing up her total Olympic medal tally to five (she won two golds and a silver in the 2022 Beijing Games).
