Don't care much about the Olympics. Biathlon, a combination of skiing and target shooting, is my favourite. Try and slow down your heartbeat in an instant after racing downhill at breakneck speed in order to hit a target. Eileen Gu is a freestyle Olympic skier who competes for China. Mostly raised by her Chinese mother and grandmother, she has an American father. A recent background article in the New York Times explores some of the effects of Mrs. Gu competing for China, not the United States. Of course she is both Chinese and American. Conservative pundits in the US call her a traitor and accuse her of being ungrateful. But why should she be forced to choose? Identity is not a binary option. It's like forcing kids to choose which parent they'll never see again. The way Mrs. Gu looks at it, is “when I’m in the U.S., I’m American, but when I’m in China, I’m Chinese.”
