Controversial Olympic athlete Eileen Gu<\/a> called out the International Ski and Snowboard Federation (FIS) over the tight Olympic schedule she has, which she said will prevent her from getting in the proper training sessions she needs for a freeski event.<\/p>\n

Gu, who is representing China during the 2026 Winter Olympics<\/a>, made her thoughts known after she clinched a spot in the big air final, which takes place Monday. She said competing in the final will take her away from properly practicing for the qualifying round of the halfpipe final, which takes place on Thursday.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m disappointed in FIS,” she said. “I think the Olympics should epitomize aspiration, and I think being able to do something that\u2019s beyond the ordinary should be celebrated instead of punished.”<\/p>\n

Gu said she wasn\u2019t trying to get special treatment, only the same amount of practice time as her competitors. She said she tried to compromise, including joining the snowboarders\u2019 training on the halfpipe. She said the FIS told her it couldn\u2019t make the change because it wouldn\u2019t be fair to the other competitors.<\/p>\n

Gu already won silver in slopestyle earlier this week.<\/p>\n

“I think it\u2019s really unfair. I think it\u2019s punishing excellence, to be completely honest with you,” Gu added. “Because I dare to do three events, and this is making it completely impossible to train fairly for the third event.”<\/p>\n

FIS scheduled three training sessions before qualifying \u2013 an increase from two for a typical World Cup event. The organization\u2019s spokesman, Bruno Sassi, said “every effort has been made to facilitate the best possible training” for the athletes.<\/p>\n

“But as we have already seen at these Games, for athletes who choose to compete in multiple disciplines and\/or multiple events, conflicts can sometimes be inevitable,” he said.<\/p>\n

Gu, who was born in the U.S. but chose to compete for China<\/a>, hasn\u2019t skied in a halfpipe event since December and hasn\u2019t competed in big air since winning the gold in the 2022 Beijing Games. The halfpipe event is a bit more dangerous than the other two.<\/p>\n

Gu will have the big air final on Monday, followed by the halfpipe qualifiers on Thursday, with the final coming Saturday.<\/p>\n
