We're back.

It is 8.37 with the breakout star of the Winter Olympics.

Her name is Eileen Gu, the teen phenom, racked up several gold medals on the slopes.

She's been juggling her newfound fame with competitions, college on the horizon, and a stunning appearance at this week's Fashion's Biggest Night.

Take a look.

Eileen Gu.

This is what February looked like for 18-year-old freestyle skier Eileen Gu, golden.

Oh my god, I'm not crying, I'm not crying.

The American born teen who grew up in California won, not one, not two, but three Olympic medals for Team China,

honoring her mother's home country on the international stage.

The golds in big air

and half pipe make Eileen the youngest freestyle skiing champion in Olympic history

and the first freestyle skier to win three medals at a single winter Olympics.

She used her podium finishes as a platform to cheer on the next generation of young women in her sports.

Always been about encouraging girls, it's always been about showing people what's possible.

A mission Eileen has been on since she was in 7th grade.

I encourage you all to step out of your comfort zone to show the boys

that girls are just as powerful as they are.

Since Beijing, Eileen's gone from smashing records in historic fashion to becoming a fashion icon,

making a name for herself as one of the faces of luxury brands Louis Vuitton and Tiffany's,

rocking both on the red carpet at fashion's famous first Monday in May, the Met Gala.

Eileen, it's so good to have you in studio.

By the way, you really are the whole package.

I mean, Savannah and I were just talking about you.

You, first of all, an Olympic gold medalist.

You're everything in fashion.

What did you get on your SATs?

I got a 1580 on my SAT.

Okay.

Did you study?

Do you study all the time?

Are you a hard worker or do things just come easy for you?

I did take every single available online test for the SAT.

So I'm not going to sit back and be like, oh, it was easy.

But yeah, it was just standardized tests and you can study for them.

Well, hard work seems to be your theme.

when you got those medals in Beijing, was it a pinch-me moment, or was it like lots and lots of practice that happened to work out perfectly on that day?

I think it was both.

The really standout moment for me was when I landed that 1620 in Big Air, which was my first event.

And I've always said, you know, my message is about inspiring young girls

and inspiring more people to hear about the sport and to use it as a force to create interconnection and cross-cultural communication.

And I knew that it was such a big moment, and there were so many people watching, and it was my time to live up to that standard that I've set.

And so in that sense, I was like, no matter what, there is no failure, because if I don't land, the worst failure is to not try.

So I just wanted to try it.

And I'd never done it before.

I'd never even tried it on airbag or anything and landed it, got that gold medal.

And I was on top of the world.

Well, your mom taught you well.

You can tell that she's always supporting you.

She's actually here in studio and you did make a decision to compete for China

and I was just wondering the thought process because I know

that wasn't an easy decision I know it came with backlash

so tell me about that piece yeah

so for me it's always been about using force using sport as a force of communication

and especially in a sport like free skiing it's so free it's

so personal you use it and it's creative there's style

and a lot of people in China had never even heard of it

and So kind of introducing that sport culture to younger girls, especially, is it changed my life, you know.

And so to be able to have that kind of contact with the sport.

And now there are 300 million people in China who've gone on snow after the Winter Olympics.

And that impact is absolutely insane.

Did you feel like you needed to have a thick skin for what came at you after that?

Absolutely.

I mean, people always have their own opinions.

But for me, what I try to stick to is I know that there's no wrong or right.

There's only intention.

I'm trying to make the world a better place in my own way.

And if people disagree with that, that's okay.

And I just encourage them to make the world better in their way, right?

We can approach this situation from different standpoints.

So yeah, teach their own.

So you're going to Stanford.

Is that next on your list?

I'm going to college in the fall.

Yeah.

Oh my gosh.

So you're going to college in the fall.

You're a model.

You do all that stuff.

Are we going to see you at the Olympics again? Is

that going to happen do you think who knows I mean

honestly I really love skiing still it is a very personal

and expressive part of me

and I think it makes me who I am it's taught me resilience it's taught me

that um cross-cultural communication and so in that sense yeah I think why not

but yeah let's see how school goes first you are a lovely

and delightful person

and again your mom's here cheering you on no one's beaming bigger than she is I don't know

if we did get a shot of her

because we did oh good I just want I just want to make sure

that she gets her air time too I know she doesn't love to be on camera, but we had to show her.

Eileen, thank you so much.

We really appreciate you coming to see us.

Congrats on all of your success.

Thank you so much, Hoda.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?

Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
