In the Beijing Winter Olympics, a global sports event, Chinese Olympians showed outstanding performance and achieved unprecedented results for the Chinese team in the Winter Olympics. In this special period, we have also seen many outstanding ice and snow athletes appear on the field, and they have won glory for the country. Among this group of athletes, skier Gu Ailing is undoubtedly a unique existence. As a skier, she has won two World Championships in women's snow, one biathlon and one World Championship runner-up. In this Winter Olympics, she won two gold medals and one silver, which was a huge victory. This is a huge surprise for many Chinese people. However, given Gu's unique experience, the issue of her nationality has been at the center of the debate since the Beijing Winter Olympics. Many hold the view that once she has great success and reputation in China, she will likely regain her American citizenship and represent Team USA at the World Series. However, this will not be the last time she will return home. However, shortly after 2024, an official statement appeared on the issue of Gu Ailing's nationality, which will answer this much-talked-about question.
Regarding Gu Ailing's nationality, the official has released new information.
It is supported by daily physical activity.
Unlike most Chinese athletes, Gu was born in the United States, her mother is from Beijing, and her father is American. As a result, she has held U.S. citizenship since the day she was born. However, when she was only 16 years old, Gu Ailing, who was influenced by her mother to return to China frequently, decided to become a Chinese citizen, and her desire at the time was to represent the Chinese team at the Winter Olympics on Chinese soil. After qualifying to represent China in the World Championship, Gu Ailing won several world championship awards on behalf of China.
During the Beijing Winter Olympics, the highly anticipated Gu Ailing performed well, successfully winning two Olympic gold medals and winning the honor of Olympic gold medals. This not only allowed him to earn a good income and accolades, but also opened a path to the pinnacle of his athletic career. Thanks to the important event of the Beijing Winter Olympics, Gu Ailing's popularity is like riding a rocket, from a relatively unknown niche athlete to a world-renowned athlete. In the field of business, Gu Ailing has also achieved remarkable achievements. Not long ago, in the Forbes ranking of female athletes' earnings, Gu Ailing ranked third with more than $22 million in earnings. Considering the above gains**, Gu earned only $100,000 in competitions, but in commercial endorsements and various activities, she earned as much as $22 million. Among them, in addition to the athletes themselves, they also include the companies she sponsors and sponsors. These achievements are inseparable from the impact she has had after her outstanding performance for the Chinese team.

However, hidden behind these highlights is actually a lot of rumors about Gu Ailing on the Internet. In this moment full of uncertainties, Gu Ailing chose to remain silent. There are many rumors that Gu Ailing may return to the United States to fight for the United States. There is no definite news about Gu Ailing's future whereabouts. There is also news circulating on the Internet that Gu Ailing's contract with the General Administration of Sports is about to expire, so it is likely that she will not play for the Chinese team again. In Gu Ailing's official statement, she clarified all rumors about returning to the United States to compete. So, is this information true? Gu Ailing made it clear in a recent interview that she will continue to represent the Chinese team in competitions, and her contract with the General Administration of Sports has been extended. Based on an analysis of the current situation, the information of these recommendations appears to be untrue. She has shown outstanding performances on the international stage and is still the pride of the Chinese team. In fact, Gu is still a Chinese athlete.
According to the observation of recent matches, Gu Ailing is still participating in international competitions as a Chinese player. Although her results are not very good, this does not affect her world ranking. Under the terms of the FIS Federation, Gu is unlikely to give up her Chinese citizenship. If she chooses to renounce her Chinese citizenship, Gu will not be able to compete in international competitions for the next three years. You have to understand that the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan are less than three years away. As a result, Gu Ailing is likely to miss the 2026 Winter Olympics. Therefore, from this point of view, Gu Ailing's chances of changing her nationality are almost zero. Recently, Gu released an official statement that further confirmed that she still qualifies as an athlete in China.
Recently, freestyle skier Eileen Gu revealed in an interview that she plans to continue to participate in the 2026 Winter Olympics in Cortina, Milan, as a representative of China. As a freestyle skier, she hopes to gain more accolades and respect through this Winter Olympics. Gu Ailing further pointed out that representing China in ski competitions will provide an opportunity for countless Chinese girls to see for the first time the brilliant results that snow sports can bring.
