Eileen Gu had time today.
After Vice President JD Vance criticized her for representing China at the Winter Olympics and said he’s only rooting for “American athletes,” Gu responded with: “I’m flattered. Thanks, JD! That’s sweet.”
Online, some U.S. fans have gone further, calling the San Francisco–born skier a “traitor.”
Gu was born and raised in SF. She’s the most decorated female freestyle skier in Olympic history. She has five Olympic medals. She wins. A lot.
