Freestyle skier Eileen Gu said she never really thought she would leave the Beijing Winter Olympics with three medals to her name and says her performance was still difficult to wrap her head around.

The 19-year old, who won gold in big air and half-pipe, plus a silver in slopestyle, capped an amazing year by being crowned Female Athlete of Beijing 2022 at the Association of National Olympic Committees (ANOC) Awards in Seoul.

Gu, who competed for China in Beijing, became the first freestyle skier to win three medals at the same Olympics.

“I am a very competitive person but I never would have dreamed that I would come away with three. It was absolutely mind blowing,” Gu said. (With inputs from South China Morning Post)
