Eileen Gu, the freestyle skiing champion at the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, has recently become a hot topic on the Chinese internet since her contract with the Chinese team has expired. Gu’s contract renewal is put on hold due to ongoing corruption investigations in Chinese sports.
Hu Guangyu, the former deputy director of China’s General Administration of Sports, has been under investigation since January. Hu was previously in charge of helping Gu to naturalize as a Chinese citizen in order to play on the Chinese team.
