EILEEN GU: X Games Xplained - Ski Slopestyle | World of X Games

By winning Ski Slopestyle gold, X Games rookie Eileen Gu captured her third medal in the span of 22 hours at X Games Aspen 2021. She was the only woman skier in three disciplines at Aspen 2021 as well as the only rookie in a Ski discipline. The 17-year-old Gu, who represents China, also took both Big Air bronze and SuperPipe gold on Friday. Entering X Games Aspen 2021, Chinese athletes had collected 3 medals in the 26-year history of the event. Gu doubled China’s total X Games medal count in a weekend.

Gu grabbed the Slopestyle lead in Run 1 and never relinquished it. No one even came close on a day that featured a challenging course and challenging conditions. Her run was highlighted by the huge left alley-oop flatspin 720 Weddle grab she threw on the quarterpipe. Here, Gu recounts her Slopestyle experience at X Games for X Games Xplained!
