6月8日，自由式滑雪冬奥冠军谷爱凌出席了《时代》杂志Time100峰会，并接受采访。谷爱凌表示，从没后悔过选择代表中国，并希望激励更多年轻女性。
针对她代表中国出战冬奥，主持人问她“是否后悔过这个选择”，谷爱凌表示，“我从没后悔过选择代表中国”，并希望激励更多年轻女性。Gu Ailing, the United States-born Olympic skiing gold medalist, who is also known as Eileen Gu, said that she competed for China to inspire the nation's young girls to get interested in the sport.谷爱凌是峰会中最年轻的发言人，同时也是唯一一位现役运动员及女性运动员。此前谷爱凌已经入选《时代》杂志评选的2022百大人物。The freestyle skier won three medals at the Beijing 2022 Winter Games in February. She shared her thoughts on Tuesday at an event in New York, where she was among those honored as being among Time magazine's 100 most influential people of 2022, and she discussed her motivation and the possible roles she may play after the Olympics.采访中主持人不时抛出尖锐提问，谷爱凌当场表示：“我从来没有后悔过代表中国参加冬奥会。”Asked whether she had second thoughts about her decision to represent China in the Olympics, considering the current tension between the US and China, Gu said not at all.
谷爱凌进一步解释称，她在冬奥的表现激励了很多年轻女孩成为更好的自己。而收到粉丝朋友的感谢，也反过来鼓舞了她，她感觉这种共同进步的良性循环非常美妙。"No, I don't have any regrets," she said, because every day on her social media she receives messages from hundreds of young girls worldwide who call her their inspiration.That "positive reinforcement cycle" motivated Gu.此外，谷爱凌认为自己的表现对于全世界也是一次良机。不仅影响了中国，也影响了美国、欧洲，以及所有以往看不到自由式滑雪的地方。这种变化让她自豪。她提到，“体育运动本身就是跨越种族、年龄性别、文化背景差异的共同经历，这是一个促进文化交流和互相提升的机会，形成一种良性循环。”"Sports are a shared experience transcending gender, age, race, background and culture," Gu said, adding that they can bring about cultural exchanges, communication and uplift one another, generating a cycle of positivity.谷爱凌还表示，她将担任美国申办2030年盐湖城冬季奥运会的大使。她表示，“这正是一个全球主义的美好案例，我们能用滑雪、体育和冬季运动把人们连接起来。”Gu also announced that she would be the ambassador for the US Winter Olympic Games bid in Salt Lake City in 2030. Gu said, "This is a beautiful example of globalism and the capacity that we can use skiing, we can use sports, we can use the winter sports to connect people."此前丁俊晖担任过英国伦敦申奥大使，申雪、赵宏博担任过韩国平昌申奥大使。
