谷爱凌回击“痛失2枚金牌”:很荒谬!
China's freeski superstar Gu Ailing claimed two silver medals at the Milano-Cortina Winter Olympics in Italy, in the women's freestyle skiing slopestyle and big air events.
When asked by a foreign journalist at a post-competition press conference on Monday whether she felt she had won two silvers or lost two golds, Gu dismissed the question as "a ridiculous perspective to take". "I'm the most decorated female freeskier in history," she added. "I think that's an answer in and of itself."
Since her medal wins at the Beijing Winter Olympics, she has now earned a total of two gold and three silver Olympic medals, making her the first female freestyle skier in the world to win five Olympic medals.
"Winning a medal at the Olympics is a life-changing experience for every athlete. Doing it five times is exponentially harder because every medal is equally hard for me. But everybody else's expectations rise, and so the two medals lost situation, to be quite frank with you, I think it's kind of a ridiculous perspective to take."
"I'm showcasing my best skiing. I'm doing things that literally have never been done before, and so I think that is more than good enough," said Gu.
