In one recent case, Eileen Gu, a 15-year-old American-born skier, announced to her followers on Weibo on June 6 that she had become a Chinese citizen and that she planned to ski internationally for China in the future.
Despite being born in the United States and having an American father, Gu maintains that she had always felt Chinese. Growing up Gu was exposed to Chinese culture by her Chinese mother and her American father. Having lived in America her entire life, Gu was also exposed to the rich history of American skiing and was fortunate to have access to the facilities America has to offer.
