Eileen Gu has now competed in her second Winter Olympics for China, adding to her medal total at Milano Cortina 2026. Prior to Milan, the freestyle skier won three medals at the 2022 Beijing Games, including gold in the big air and halfpipe events, along with silver in slopestyle.

At the 2026 Winter Games, Gu added three more medals to her total. She scored 179.00 in big air and 86.58 in slopestyle, earning silver in both events. And in the halfpipe, her final event in Milan, Gu posted a 94.75 to beat out China’s Li Fanghui for the gold medal.

Following a successful 2026 Winter Olympics, Gu stayed in Milan for her "other job." Throughout her skiing career, she has also built a successful side career as a model and brand ambassador for luxury brands such as Louis Vuitton. This has given her the opportunity to attend major fashion events, including the 2026 Milan Fashion Week, which ran from February 24 to March 2.

While Gu has stayed busy with her skiing and fashion career, she has also been a student at Stanford University since 2022, taking quantum mechanics before settling on an internal relations major. She enrolled after becoming the first student in San Francisco University High School history to graduate a year early, while also scoring 1580 out of a possible 1600 on her SAT. This score falls in the 99th percentile, with the average SAT score around 1050.

Fans have recently taken notice of Gu's impressive SAT score, taking to social media to leave their thoughts.

"A friendly reminder to her haters that the Chinese Olympian Eileen Gu graduated with a near perfect SAT score of 1580 from her high school and is currently studying quantum physics at Stanford University," a fan wrote.

"Incredibly talented, intelligent and absolutely gorgeous!" added another.

"Ok keep going," commented a third.

"This young lady’s the COMPLETE package!!!" posted a fourth.

"Extremely impressive resume. Am I envious? No. But you will see me green with envy when a woman is beautiful, charming, and a banterer," wrote a fifth.

"Beauty with brain, skill and talent.." added a sixth.
