历史性一刻！18岁谷爱凌逆袭夺得金牌，最后一跳是从未完成过的超高难度动作！（附视频&摘要稿）
第一跳93.75分，第二跳88.50分，第三跳94.50分，夺冠！创造历史！
2月8日，在2022北京冬奥会自由式滑雪女子大跳台决赛现场，经过3轮较量，中国选手谷爱凌以总分188.25分夺冠！
这是中国队在本届冬奥会雪上项目夺得的首枚金牌。时隔16年后，中国第二次在冬奥会雪上项目夺冠。谷爱凌激动地表示，自己在最后一跳做出了从未完成过的超高难度动作。“我使用了一个从来没有完成过的难度动作，最终成功了，实在太震撼了。”
自3岁接触滑雪，到18岁站上北京冬奥会的滑雪场，谷爱凌一步步成长为世界级滑雪名将。“天才滑雪少女”标签之外，这位手握超20家代言的体坛新秀，正在成为众多品牌商眼中的“新宝藏”。
“天才”“学霸”“冠军”……贴在这个18岁少女身上的标签有很多。面对众多赞许，谷爱凌却从未为自己的人生设限，“这些标签都是别人选择性地贴在我身上，但我没把自己想象成这样。成长过程中做好自己，这是最重要的”。
18-year-old California native Eileen Gu has won gold in the 2022 Beijing Olympics big air event becoming the youngest freestyle skiing gold medalist in Olympics history.
18岁，出生于加州的Eileen Gu在2022年北京奥运会自由式滑雪女子大跳台决赛中获得金牌，成为奥运会历史上最年轻的自由式滑雪金牌得主。
Representing China in this year’s games, Gu was in third place with just one jump to go as the hometown crowd anxiously waited for her next move.
代表中国出战今年的比赛谷爱凌，在第二跳之后排名第三名。家乡观众们都在焦急地等待着她的第三次，也就是最后一跳。
“I was guaranteed a podium spot when I dropped in, I was only 0.25 points behind Mathilde (Gremaud) and I was thinking, should I improve on my previous one and go for the sliver or should I whip out this random trick I’d never done before and go for gold,” she shared.
“当我进入跳台的时候，我得知我只落后玛蒂尔德（格雷莫）0.25分，我在想，我是应该在我之前的基础上有所改进，然后去争取拿到银牌，还是应该拿出这个随机的以前从未做过动作，去争取金牌，”她分享道。
Gu successfully landed a Left Double 1620 with a safety grab on her final run, securing her the winning score she needed. “I’ve never done it before, but I actually felt pretty confident going into it. I’ve played piano for nine years, so I am very attuned to a sense of rhythm,” Gu shared in her post-event press conference. “I think of all my tricks as a rhythm and music. The wind in my ears, the speed in my turn as I spin, it speeds up. There’s a change in tempo.”
谷爱凌在最后一跳，以左双1620的动作安全抓地并成功降落，也确保了她获得金牌所需的获胜分数。“我以前从未这样做过，但实际上我对这个动作感到非常有信心。因为我弹了九年钢琴，所以我对节奏感非常敏感，”谷爱凌在赛后新闻发布会上分享道。“我认为我所有的动作和技巧就像是一种节奏和音乐的配合。我耳边的风，我旋转时的速度会加速。节奏都会随机应变的。”
“I was visualizing that. More than anything I felt it was an opportunity to represent myself, and this message that I’ve always had to break my own boundaries. It’s something that I wanted to show the world,” said Gu. After the results were announced Gu gave credit to her fellow competitors saying, “I landed because of them. We all have the same goal to push the sport and do our personal best on that day.”
“我一直在想象那个动作。最重要的是，我觉得这个动作能代表我自己，同时它也传递了一个信息给我，我总是能打破自己的界限，当然，这是我想向世界展示的东西，”谷爱凌说。成绩公布后，谷爱凌还称赞她的其他竞争对手说：“因为她们，我今天才能成功落地，我们都有共同的目标来推动这项运动，并且做到自己认为的最好。”
she’s affectionately known as “Snow Princess.” She explains her reasoning in an Instagram post saying, “Having been introduced to the sport growing up in the U.S., I wanted to encourage Chinese skiers the same way my American role models inspired me. Nine years ago, I pitched the idea of a freeski competition. The result was the first slopestyle competition in China. Ever.”
她在社交媒体上被亲切地称为“白雪公主”。她在 Instagram 帖子中解释了自己的理由：“在美国长大的过程中，我有幸结识了这项运动，我想鼓励中国滑雪者，就像我的美国榜样们启发了我一样。九年前，我提出了自由滑雪比赛的想法，中国就举办了第一次斜坡式滑雪比赛。”
“No matter what I say, if people don’t have a good heart, they won’t believe me because they can’t empathize with people who do have a good heart,” she said in her post-competition interviews. “So in that sense, I feel as though it’s a lot easier to block out the hate now. And also, they’re never going to know what it feels like to win an Olympic gold medal.”
“不管我说什么，如果人们没有一颗善良的心，他们不会相信我，因为他们无法同情心肠好的人，”她在赛后采访中说。“所以从这个意义上说，我觉得现在消除仇恨要容易得多。而且，他们永远不会知道赢得奥运金牌的感觉。”
Beyond snowboarding, Gu is also a Stanford student, IMG model, and global brand ambassador for Louis Vuitton, Tiffany & Co., and more. After winning her first Olympic Gold in Big Air, she hopes to secure two more at the women’s Slopestyle and Halfpipe events.
除了单板滑雪之外，谷爱凌还是斯坦福大学的一名学生、IMG 模特以及 Louis Vuitton、Tiffany 等公司的全球品牌大使。在自由式滑雪女子大跳台决赛赢得她的第一枚奥运金牌后，她希望在女子 Slopestyle 和 Halfpipe 项目中再获得两枚金牌。

It was Eileen Gu's dream to join the Chinese national team, a dream she has been working hard to make a reality. Overcoming hardship and challenging the impossible, she said her biggest rival has always been herself.
