Let’s get this thing started now.

Coy Wire: She’s fierce, fearless, and a favorite to win gold here at the Beijing Winter Olympics. Move over, Elsa. There’s a new snow princess in town. 

Eileen Gu: My name is Eileen Gu. I’m from San Francisco. And I’m a freeskier. 

Coy Wire: The 18-year-old sensation was born in the US. But her mom was born in China. And Eileen decided to compete for China at these games. 

Eileen Gu: My family has always been super supportive of me. I come from a long line of engineers. So it definitely wasn’t expected. And I don’t think anybody really thought that I would become a professional skier or professional athlete in general.

Coy Wire: But she’s so much more than an athlete. The Chinese-speaking, horseback-riding, piano-playing prodigy graduated high school in just three years. And she’s already been admitted to her dream school, Stanford. She’s modeled for Louis Vuitton, Estee Launder, racking up roughly 20 brand partners and big-time dollars. She’s the poster child for snow sports in China, starring alongside Chinese actor Jackson Yee in an official Beijing Games promo video being played throughout China. She says her decision to compete for China instead of the USA stems from a strong mother-daughter bond. Yan Gu taught Eileen to embrace her heritage, honor her ancestry. 

Eileen Gu: My mom has always been super, super supportive. My grandma is the most-motivated-to-win person. She has the most competitive mindset that I’ve ever met ever. So I think my grandma gave me that competitive drive and kind of supported me in that way. And my mom kind of taught me the work ethic aspect. So anybody can want to win. But I think it was my mom that taught me how to get there. 

Coy Wire: And now Eileen wants to inspire the next generation from her mom’s homeland [to] get there, too. She says she’s competing to unite people, promote common understanding, create communication, and forge friendships between nations. Coy Wire, CNN, China.
