To Watch a Video Presentation of this Article Click Here: By far one of the biggest headlines going into the Beijing Winter Olympics is the fascinating story of Eileen Gu, an 18-year girl born in San Francisco who 2.5 years ago made a surprising decision that she would represent China, not America at the 2022 Winter Olympics. In today’s article I’m going to break down why her story has caused an outrage amongst the US skiing community but most importantly I want to share with everyone the real reason Eileen Gu has chosen to represent China instead of America.
Wonderful article. If only politicians would think about uniting people instead of grasping for power and wealth. Eileen has chosen to make a difference and her decision should be respected. One of the most poignant points was would she make a difference in the U.S. even if she swept gold. Sadly, the vitriol and level of Asian hate says no. In fact, Olympic gold medalist Sunni Lee was pepper sprayed in an anti-Asian racist attack.

I do not have any hope for good relations between the US and CHINA. The US would not give up their Nr,1 at any cost.
Well said, Cyrus!
