Although he was born and raised in the United States, "Ski Empress" and "Ski Genius" Gu Ailing (23, English name Eileen Gu), who chose the Chinese national team and was at the center of the controversy, are being criticized by U.S. public opinion. Praise is pouring out for the sharp interview, but it seems to be undesirable in the United States.
According to a report by the American online media The Big Read on the 26th (Korea time), Boomer Assisen (65), a legendary quarterback and famous radio host from the National Football League (NFL) player, recently criticized Gu A-ring on his program, the WFAN radio show, calling him "unbearable and arrogant."
During the broadcast, Aussien expressed displeasure, referring to an interview Guai-ling has conducted since winning two silver medals at the 2026 Milan-Cortina D'Ampezzo Winter Olympics. "Guy Ling is very attractive and smart enough to attend Stanford University," he said, but pointed out, "But it's really hard to bear when I hear her talk about her performance."
The core of the criticism was Gu I-ling's 'excessive self-centered speech'. "She only emphasizes her genius and hard work rather than attributing the credit of her grades to her colleagues, coaches, or those who supported her," Assison pointed out. This is far from the typical "Team First" spirit of the U.S. sports world, according to analysts.
When asked at an official press conference held after confirming the second silver medal in the women's big air final on the 17th, Gu I-ling snorted and hit the bullseye, saying, "The view that I missed the gold medal is somewhat absurd to be honest." She once replied, "I'm the most medal winning female freestyle skier in history, and that fact itself says it all." This scene drew a lot of attention around the world.
Guai Ling has been a hot issue throughout this Winter Olympics. Although she was born and raised in San Francisco, the U.S. is not looking at her in the U.S., who chose to naturalize in China, her mother's country, in 2019. Not only the United States but the whole world showed interest. Until the middle of the competition, some failed by winning only two silver medals, but eventually won the gold medal in the halfpipe final on the last day of the Olympics, becoming a "living legend" who recorded an unprecedented record of six Olympic medals.
Enes Kanter (34), a former NBA player and human rights activist who retired from active duty in 2022, also said of Gu I-ling, "I'll just be honest. He's a traitor. Despite being born and raised in the United States, I chose to compete for China, which is considered the world's worst human rights bed country," he criticized. U.S. media also cited Kanter's remarks and viewed Gu Ai-ling as being silent on human rights issues in China and taking only commercial gains.
In the end, despite being ranked as a "living legend" at the 2026 Milan-Cortina D'Ampezzo Olympics, Gu Ai-ling has a homework to overcome criticism of the "absence of humility" along with the stinging gaze of a "star who abandoned his country." There is a view that there is a lack of "global consensus" that cannot be completely filled with skills alone.
