Who has been watching? Likely as popular as the Oscars and Grammys have been over the last few years.

If she had skied as an American, the Chinese might have denied her proper food and lodging....

Google won’t be talking about that....

Competing in China, but not, I suppose, residing in China.

Man, I do not miss this stuff from my running days. I'd take about five or six during a marathon and by the fourth one, it was quite the effort to choke this down. Blecch!

Gu has said she feels “just as American as I am Chinese ” but chose China over America on the world stage.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Precisely that split loyalty is why the founders excluded the children of foreigners from being President with the natural born citizen clause.

They are born with the nationality of their foreign parent(s).

Natural born citizens are naturally citizens because they could not be anything else.

That singularity of nationality if what the founders were requiring.

Block her from ever returning to the mainland. We also need to have anyone with citizenship in the PRC resident in the US to renounce their PRC citizenship. We also should include them on a list of enemy nations from whom all immigration is banned.

The rules of the IOC are a joke. It’s obvious that she will remain an American citizen but want China to take credit for her medals.

She renounced the USA by becoming a tool of the CCP. Suggest she live the rest of her life with the Chinese commies.

She only “competes” in subjective events that 1% of the world give a shit about.

It’s interested here so many Freepers will “not guilty” a woman who murders etc., but apparently this is a bridge too far?

No need for only fans. Estimates are she has earned $30 million in endorsements in China

I saw other reports that said if she was a “typical” American skier in this sport, she’d be lucky to get $4 million- I don’t know if true, but the point is made

Not a reason to reject the wisdom of the founders and do the reverse of their intent on keeping foreigners out of the Oval Office.
