@somewhere.media @somewhere.snow : Eileen Gu is now the most decorated freestyle skier in Olympic history. Competing across both Beijing 2022 and Milano-Cortina 2026, she stepped into all three disciplines — Big Air, Slopestyle, and Halfpipe — and left each one with either gold or silver. No misses. No off-podium finishes. At just 22 years old, her record already stands at: — 3 gold medals 🥇 — 3 silver medals 🥈 A level of dominance rarely seen in Olympic sport — and a career that is still only getting started.
