Chinese Olympic star Eileen Gu condemned President Trump’s harsh criticism of American skier Hunter Hess after he expressed “mixed emotions” about representing the US at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan-Cortina. Gu, 22, who was born in the US but is competing for her mother’s native China, said she was disappointed that the latest buzz surrounding the Olympics was about Trump’s comments — rather than about sports uniting the world. “I’m sorry that the headline that is eclipsing the Olympics has to be something so — unrelated to the spirit of the Games,” the two-time gold medalist told The Athletic.
