American freestyle skier Eileen Gu said she was “physically assaulted,” robbed and received death threats on her college campus, Stanford University, over her controversial 2019 decision to represent her mother’s native China in the Olympics.

China’s freeski superstar Eileen Gu, one of the biggest names at the Milan-Cortina Olympics, came to Italy as one of the few athletes whose name transcends winter sports.

Gu shook off a concerning fall in her first run of the qualifiers on Thursday.
