Gu, who was born and raised in the U.S. by Chinese immigrants, is the hotshot freestyle skier competing for China in the Beijing Olympics. Gu has raised eyebrows for switching to the China team after training with the U.S. team, but the San Francisco native, who speaks fluent Mandarin and makes yearly trips to China with her mom, is clear-eyed about how she defines herself. "When I'm in China, I'm Chinese," Gu told the Olympic Channel in 2020. "When I'm in the U.S., I'm American." (AP Photo/Hugh Carey, File)
