OLYMPICS

Eileen Gu is the China Olympic Freestyle Skier to Watch!

Tex Hollywood - February 4, 2026

Eileen Gu decided to dominate skiing, fashion, business, and the internet, all by 22.

As we roll toward the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan-Cortina, Gu isn’t just a medal favorite, she's a Forbes 30 under 30.

She was born and raised in the USA, but she competes for China, where her mother was raised and she wins for them.

She is one of the most unstoppable athlete in winter sports, as well as a Sports Illustrated Swim model, a Stanford graduate and she is represented by a major talent agency.

At Beijing 2022, she didn’t just show up — she cleaned house:

2 gold medals

1 silver medal

Halfpipe, big air, slopestyle — she dominates and is older, smarter and stronger now.
