Beijing 2022: Having Some Fun

Eileen Gu (China) had score well enough on her first run down the half pipe to win the Gold Medal.  On her second run she improve her score to untouchable.  On her final run with the points in hand to know that gold was also in her hand she decided to have some fun with a couple of goofy jumps in her coronation run.  Chapeau, Eileen!  I hope every Olympiad has rememberedto have some fun dispite all of the pressure, danager, and desire to win.  Afterall making it to the Olympics is a victort in and of itself.

Beijing 2022: She's Above It

Eileen Gu (China) has been that stand out Olympian in these Games.  First, although raised in the USA she chose to compete in the land of her mother, China.  She felt that she could use the platform to elevate her sport and the power of women in China.  She certainly got people taling about her both on a off the slopes as she wom two gold medals and one silver in the three events she entered.  Now she is on to Stanford University.

Bejing 2022: Grapping Japan

 Normally I make all of the images horizontal, but when the event is called Big Air, it seems only right to show just how high up Eileen Gu (China) was as she twisted and flipped her way to a gold medal.  Gu had made the choice to ski for China despite having grown up in California.  She spent every summer visiting her grand parents in China, and felt that she could be a role model for Chinese girls both in and out of skiing competition.  Her performance today certainly inspired us all!  

I should explain the title.  The move she is making in the picture, reaching under one ski to grab the ski of her opposite leg is called a "Japan Grab"  Therefore I enjoyed the Chinese American skiing for China doing a move named after Japan.  It was just to Asian to pass up.
