FR experts may have confused Gu with another American/Chinese ice skater who was not good enough for the US team. She fell twice in competition....don’t recall the name.
Gu was likely paid to compete for China, who do not allow dual citizenship, so Gu is theoretically no longer a US citizen.
She will be lauded as TV does nothing but attempt to create stars. Gu played it all too cute for my taste during her finals runs.
I hope she is shunned just as viewers are shunning the Beiing games.
Nope. China allows it through age 18. The second Gu turns 19, she will have to choose. She would be nuts not to keep the American citizenship, which I expect she will.

IOC does not require citizenship. Two years residency will work.
