On Friday, #EileenGu completed the goal she had set for the Winter Olympics: to win three medals for #China. nytimes.com/2022/02/17/spo…
"With a large crowd of Chinese fans cheering her every trick, she easily scored a 95.25 on her second run, putting her far above the rest of the field. By the time she was up for her third run, she had already won gold."
"Gu was going to try a final run with a difficult cork 10, to show off a bit, but her teammate Kexin Zhang fell and hit her head, then struggled to get up before skiing down the halfpipe. That made Gu reconsider a risky run."

Eileen got her 1st gold medal. Eileen is definitely a super achiever. She is also a math genius, having trained in the math Olympics summer camp in Beijing. She graduated from high school one year earlier & was accepted by Stanford with an almost full SAT

Her mother Guyan is also a super achiever, being a professional speed skater and later a coach. Academic wise, Guyan graduated from Beijing university majoring in chemistry before obtaining an MBA from Stanford.
Guyan also had a career in Wall Street as an investor.

Eileen is more or less brought up by her mother and Grandma in Beijing. She is an all-round champion, also good at piano, basketball, running.... all to a high level winning prizes.
