"Winning a medal at the Olympics is a life-changing experience for every athlete. Doing it five times is exponentially harder because every medal is equally hard for me, but everybody else's expectations rise, right? And so, the two medals lost situation, to be quite frank with you, I think it's kind of a ridiculous perspective to take. I'm showcasing my best skiing. I'm doing things that, quite literally, have never been done before, and so I think that is more than good enough. But thank you."
"Gu, a freestyle skier competing for the Chinese team, has won two silver medals at the Winter Olympics in Milan at the time of writing. Those medals brought her career tally up to five, making her the most decorated female freestyle skier in Olympic history. Gu made her Olympic debut in Beijing in 2022, where she won two golds and a silver."
Eileen Gu won two silver medals at the Winter Olympics in Milan, bringing her career total to five Olympic medals, the most for a female freestyle skier. She made her Olympic debut at Beijing 2022, winning two golds and a silver. At a press conference, a reporter asked whether she felt she had won two silvers or lost two golds. Gu laughed off the premise, expressed gratitude for every Olympic medal, called that perspective "ridiculous", and said she is showcasing her best skiing and doing moves never done before. Gu was born and raised in San Francisco and chose in 2019 to represent China to help grow the sport there, a decision that appears successful.
