Eileen Gu
Her biography is available in 29 different languages on Wikipedia (up from 28 in 2024). Eileen Gu is the 4,296th most popular athlete (down from 3,679th in 2024), the 17,546th most popular biography from United States (down from 16,743rd in 2019) and the 597th most popular American Athlete.
Eileen Gu (also known as Gu Ailing) is most famously known as the American-born freestyle skier competing for China who made history at the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics by becoming the first freestyle skier to win three medals at a single Games—gold in big air and halfpipe, silver in slopestyle—at age 18, also landing the first women's forward double cork 1440 and becoming the youngest Olympic freestyle skiing champion. At the 2026 Milano Cortina Winter Olympics, she added two more silvers (in slopestyle and big air, the latter on Chinese New Year where she rallied with a stellar final run but couldn't defend her 2022 big air gold against Canada's Megan Oldham), bringing her career Olympic tally to five medals (2 gold, 3 silver) across five events—making her the most decorated female freestyle skier in Olympic history. Surprisingly, despite ongoing geopolitical controversy over her choice to represent China (her mother's homeland) while living and training in the US, facing criticism and scrutiny in both countries, she has embraced her dual identity as a global role model, fashion icon, and trailblazer who carries "the weight of two countries on her shoulders" yet remains upbeat, stating “five-time Olympic medallist kind of has a ring to it!” after her latest achievement.
Eileen Gu is trending today!
Why Eileen Gu is Trending:
Eileen Gu is currently trending due to her impressive performance at the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics, where she recently secured a silver medal in the freeski big air event on February 16, 2026. This achievement, combined with her earlier silver in slopestyle at the same Games, has cemented her status as the most decorated female freestyle skier in Olympic history with five medals across two Olympic appearances. Despite not defending her big air gold from Beijing, Gu's consistent podium finishes and her ongoing presence at the highly anticipated Winter Games are keeping her in the global spotlight.
