When not risking her neck performing acrobatic tricks on skis, Eileen Gu loves to strut down runways and pose for magazine covers as a model.
So, it was no surprise she wore the most fashionable ski suit at the Winter Olympics.
Gu qualified for the women's slopestyle final on Saturday wearing an outfit full of details inspired by her Chinese heritage and her own personal quirks.
The 22-year-old Gu jumped at the chance to talk about her suit after coming off the course.
"Oh my gosh, I've been waiting for this moment, fit check!" she said before launching into a breakdown of her getup.
The story of America can be told through the lyrics of folk music – songs of the Great Depression, the civil rights era, and the social revolutions of the 1960s. As folk singer Pete Seeger put it in 1967, "A song isn't a speech; a song is not an editorial. If a song tries to be an editorial or a speech, often it fails as a song. The best songs tell a story, paint a picture, and leave the conclusion up actually to the listener."
