Eileen Gu

Eileen Gu made history at the 2022 Winter Olympics, securing two golds and a silver medal, becoming the only action sports athlete to clinch three medals in a single Olympic event. At age 18, she set the record for the youngest freeski Olympic gold medalist. Eileen’s extraordinary feats extend beyond the Olympics; she’s the first snow sport athlete to claim three medals at both the 2021 X Games and FIS World Championships and the inaugural female freeskier to execute a double cork 1440 and unnatural double cork 1620 in competition. Eileen also currently holds the win record for any freeski athlete, male or female, with 18 FIS World Cup victories. In her FIS World Cup career, she has an astounding 67% win percentage and has podiumed in 89% of her World Cup starts.

In recognition of her exceptional accomplishments, Eileen was honored with the “Action Sportsperson of the Year” at the 2023 Laureus World Sports Award. In 2022, she made the TIME100 Most Influential People List and won two ESPYs: Best-Breakthrough Athlete and Best Action Sports Athlete.

Eileen is not just a champion on the slopes but also a voice for young people, particularly girls. Her advocacy for female empowerment earned her the Vogue Aurora Award in 2019. Her role as a cultural conduit through sport was evident when she was named an ambassador for the 2022 Beijing Olympics, 2024 Gangwon Youth Olympics, 2024 Paris Olympics, and Salt Lake City 2030 Olympic Bid.

Eileen has made her mark on the fashion world since age 15, including walking the runway for Louis Vuitton, closing the Brunello Cucinelli 2025 show, and opening and closing the Bosideng 2024 show at Milan Fashion Week. She has been featured on covers of Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, V Magazine, L’Officiel, Marie Claire and many more.

Eileen is an outstanding full-time student at Stanford University. Most recently, she was admitted to Stanford’s selective study abroad program at Oxford University, where she spent fall of 2024.

Eileen represents a unique intersection of sports, fashion, and education to empowered youth and families across the globe.
