American-born Olympic freestyle skier Eileen Gu has been the target of online criticism after winning gold for China, her mother’s birthplace, but she’s hardly the only athlete competing under a different nationality.
The Stanford-bound Gu is one of the stars of the Beijing Winter Olympics, and has modeled for global brands including Louis Vuitton, Chanel and Tiffany & Co. The Wall Street Journal reported that Gu, born in San Francisco, has racked up deals with more than 30 brands.
