19 Women Athletes to Watch at the 2022 Olympics

Sport: Freeskiing
Country: China

For the past two years, Eileen Gu has done nothing but win medals. The freeskier, who was born in the US and represents China in competition, is equally skilled in the halfpipe, big air, and slopestyle competitions; she has major competitive wins in each one, including 2021 world championship titles in halfpipe and slopestyle. Gu is already a star in the making — besides skiing professionally, she also models and has been accepted into Stanford — and as a medal favorite for the host nation, all eyes will be on the 17-year-old when she hits the snow.
