When asked by a reporter if he had missed the gold medal, Gu Ai-ling (23, English name Eileen-gu) responded with a laugh. She showed pride in being 'the best of all time' by emphasizing the historical record and the true value of sports she set rather than the color of the medal.

Guai-ling scored a total of 179 points in the women's big air final of freestyle skiing at the 2026 Milan-Cortina d'Ampezzo Winter Olympics held at Lvigno Snowpark in Italy on the 17th (Korea Standard Time). Guai-ling, who is only 1.75 points behind Meghan Oldham of Canada, who scored 180.75 points, finished second after failing to win two consecutive events following the 2022 Beijing Games.

Gu Ai-ling, who also won a silver medal in slopestyle on the 9th, won his fifth career Olympic medal by harvesting two silver medals in this competition alone.

A happening occurred at a press conference held shortly after the medal ceremony. According to multiple media outlets, including U.S. Newsweek, a foreign reporter asked, "Do you see the achievements as two silver medals or missing two gold medals?"

In response, Gu Ai-ling snorted as if blocking a question and said, "The view that I missed the gold medal is somewhat absurd to be honest." "I'm the most medal-winning female freestyle skier in history, and that fact itself says it all," she replied.

Although her mother was born in the U.S. as a first-generation Chinese immigrant, Gu Ai-ling, who participated in the Olympics as a Chinese national, is receiving a lot of attention from all over the world. The fact that it received astronomical support funds from the Chinese government also became an issue.

Guai Ling, who is now set to try for the gold medal in the remaining halfpipe event.

He also spoke about the weight of the Olympic medal. "Winning an Olympic medal is also a life-changing experience for an athlete," Gu Ai-ling said. "It is exponentially more difficult to do it five times." Every time you win a medal, expectations around you are constantly rising, but it means that all medals are the result of equally valuable efforts.

In particular, Guai-ling placed greater value on his technical challenge than on his grades. "I'm showing off ski skills that no one has ever done, and I'm doing skills that no one has ever tried," she said. "That's already a great achievement."
