The New York Times’ sports section, “The Athletic,” published articles this week celebrating Eileen Gu, an American-born Olympic skier who chose to compete for China<\/a>, and criticizing the U.S. men’s Olympic hockey team for agreeing to visit with President Donald Trump after their gold medal win.<\/p>\n

The analysis piece about Gu<\/a>, headlined “Inside the mind of Eileen Gu, Winter Olympics superstar \u2014 and so much more,” noted that the athlete has won the most gold medals of any free skier and was the “highest earner” at the Olympics.<\/p>\n

“With three silvers and three golds to her name across two Olympics<\/a>, Gu is a freak of nature, extraordinary in every sense of the word. So what is next for a young woman who seems to have it all?” the Times’ analysis said.<\/p>\n

The story quoted Gu talking about her events: “I guess it\u2019s more like, I don\u2019t know, it\u2019s very honest.”<\/p>\n

“It makes you look in the mirror and see who you are. You can\u2019t lie to yourself. The work you\u2019ve done or haven\u2019t,” Gu said, per The Athletic.<\/p>\n

The Wall Street Journal reported<\/a> in early February that Gu and another Olympic athlete were set to be paid a combined $6.6 million in 2025 by the Beijing Municipal Sports Bureau, citing a public budget that was released in early 2025. Gu and the other athlete were set to be paid $14 million in total over the past three years by the bureau, according to the Journal.<\/p>\n

The piece noted criticism of Gu, reporting that some may question her honesty and values because of the Journal’s reporting.<\/p>\n

However, the piece continued, “You would be forgiven if you thought Gu was a quasi-human robot expertly created by artificial intelligence, so eloquent are her responses to the media, but she is not immune to pressure, and after losing her balance on her first run in the halfpipe, she felt it.”<\/p>\n

“Yet Gu bet on herself, not only in this event, but even daring to compete in three Winter Olympic events \u2014 slopestyle, halfpipe, and big air \u2014 the only female freestyle skier to do so,” The Athletic’s analysis said.<\/p>\n

Despite all the praise for Gu, The Athletic’s Jerry Brewer admonished the U.S. men’s hockey team in a piece<\/a> published Tuesday headlined, “The U.S. men\u2019s Olympic hockey team won gold \u2014 and then lost the room.”<\/p>\n

Brewer wrote that typically, speaking to the president<\/a> after winning gold and agreeing to visit would be part of an obligatory celebration, but that it was different with Trump in office.<\/p>\n

“But this isn\u2019t a neutral climate. This isn\u2019t a neutral president. And in a nation this polarized, the proximity carries weight whether the players are being intentional or merely naive. America no longer experiences these rituals in the same way, and it may never again. Athletes would be wise to recognize that, in this climate, celebration is easily repurposed into political capital,” he wrote.<\/p>\n

“The hockey team neither created this divide nor possessed a shrewd political instinct to wrap their victory in a partisan glow. But when they stepped so early into that embrace, they narrowed their moment,” Brewer continued. “It doesn\u2019t ruin what they accomplished in defeating a seemingly indomitable Canadian squad. But the widespread celebration is over now. And some of their goodwill has diminished.”<\/p>\n

Brewer argued the athletes needed to be more savvy and said they misread the moment.<\/p>\n

“These champions have agency,” he wrote. “In the afterglow of triumph, they have more agency than they ever will. They should be wary of giving it away so casually.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
