Beijing: Teenager Eileen Gu nailed a new trick in the final run of the freeski Big Air on Tuesday, delivering host nation China its quickest gold rush at a Winter Games.
The Chinese capital claimed the San Francisco-born Gu as a daughter of Beijing after she pulled off an impressive “1620,” a trick she had never done before in competition, to beat French skier Tess Ledeux.
The 18-year-old said she would celebrate by eating a chocolate bar by San Francisco confectioner Ghirardelli, play the piano and write in her journal before getting back to practice ahead of her slopestyle event on Feb 14.
“I brought a package of holiday-themed peppermint Ghirardelli chocolate, so I’m going to open that today. I’ve been saving it for my first final. It’s kind of an exciting moment,” she told reporters.
Gu’s gold, along with podium-topping performances by speedskater Ren Ziwei and his mixed team relay compatriots, put China temporarily at the top of the medal tally on Tuesday. The country has won three golds and two silver medals since the opening ceremony on Friday night.
