    You should be making threads praising her and worshiping her as you do Elon and any other rich billionaire

    The media was speculating about her bio dad because Sidney stated he dated her mom after she was born.

    Seems a secret.

    She's quiet the looker. Shame we can't see much of her in the Olympics under all those layers of clothing. Should've gotten into figure skating or gymnastics.

    It's not hard to find pics of her not wearing snow pants and a parka.

    Both the PRC and Eileen Gu are benefitting from her popularity. While the CCP doesnt' like it just mentioning a VPN is probably somethign they can live with. I think it was more telling how she handled Peng Shuai being at her competition.

    As I've said before they've given her a lot of exceptions that nearly all PRC athletes wouldn't get.

    China is definitely not the dumb woke media like America has turned into

    they will promote good looking girl athletes over trans people and fat people

    2 Golds and 1 Silver. She didn't even need to do the last half pipe run. She has more than lived up to billing. Coming in with all of her endorsements already she's going to be one of the richest Olympians who doesn't do one of the big money sports.

    This is what happens when you have a super rich Asian tiger mom, great genes for athletics ,looks and smarts, and then hard work on top of that. Literally unbeatable combination.

    Oh and she also plays the piano and gets almost perfect her SAT's. I can just hear a million Asian parents asking their kids why they aren't like Eileen.

    I feel like Nathan Chens story is also similar, except for the super rich parents parts. He's an all time great figure skater at 22, goes to Yale for Data Science, probably plays piano or violins or something. How do these Asian parents in North America build such perfect children

    I think it's more than just tiger mom, to be that good she has to be exceptionally driven internally.

    I'm glad my childhood is long behind me or else I could hear my parents telling me why I can't be more like Eileen Gu...

    It's too bad King of the Hill isn't back on the air or this could be a great plot line of Kahn trying to get Kahn Jr. into freestyle skiing. With Bobby having a massive crush on Eileen Gu..
