American-born Chinese superstar Eileen Gu caps her hugely successful Beijing Olympics by winning freeski halfpipe gold for her third medal of the Games
Gu, who has become the popular face of the Beijing Games, was in full command of the contest from the start, soaring above the pipe higher than any other skier.
With hands on her hips, Gu visualised her first two runs at the top of the Secret Garden halfpipe course. Then, she flawlessly executed her plan. She had fun with her victory run, too, going big off the walls one last time and bending back her skis – a high-flying, picture-perfect moment to culminate another successful day at her office."Skiing is all about fun and individuality and being able to express yourself and find that flow, and for myself I really find that in halfpipe,” she added.'Highs and lows'"She's really pushing the sport to a new level,” said British freestyler Zoe Atkin, who finished ninth.
