The freeski big air event is judged. It’s not a true athletic event.
I figure in China it was rigged for her to win.
Life if fine in China if you’re a turncoat named “Eileen Gu”.
Break a leg, you silly tool.
Go Gu!
Go Gu Go!
Hooray Gu!
I don’t get online without a VPN except for work. Our government is not a lot better. Meanwhile, I’m guessing that VPN sales are pretty high in China. That’s a pretty sizeable loophole.
Given that the Chinese government is aware of VPNs, I doubt that there isn’t some way for their privacy to be subverted. I find it hard to believe the CCP allows its citizens to have something that allows them to circumvent official policy.
She is both right and wrong. You can get a VPN in China (Though not as easy as she thinks) but there is a lot of censorship.
I noticed she didn’t tell you how long they would last. Most VPNs are figured out by the Chinese, you might get a couple hours on the Internet and once they see you they shut you down. I have one VPN that works OK in China but it’s hit or miss. I don’t use Facebook or any other social medias but I know that they are all shut down. You can’t even use Google there… I can say this, Free Republic is blocked there! I used to be able to use the website freely up until about two years ago but now it is blocked. Really the biggest reason I have a VPN is to stay in touch here! My only news website!
She doesn’t look Chinese.
A traitor Stanford proudly admitted.
What an idiot. VPN’s are banned and NOT available in yhe app store.
Poor, empty-headed mouth piece.
"Sorry, folks, for comparing Dachau to 'a hotel at Cap d’Antibes.' You've got to understand: I only recently took up German citizenship, and so don't really have this 'Nazi' thing completely down, yet!"

Some good news: Gu Eileen won only silver in an event in which she was favored to win gold. She fell in one of the placement rounds. the best would be Gu missing out on the podium altogether, but failing to win gold is the next-best outcome.
[ New York Times excerpt]
Eleven freeskiing finalists took turns trying to navigate the slopestyle course, which has proved itself a formidable foe during these Winter Games.
The series of rails and obstacles followed by three sets of big jumps, all built in snow in a manner to evoke the Great Wall, has both dazzled and befuddled some of the best skiers and snowboarders.
But on another frigidly cold and clear day at Genting Snow Park, Mathilde Gremaud, of Switzerland, outperformed all the others, including Eileen Gu, who was hoping for another gold medal.
