Parade reports she crushed it with scores of 94 and 94.75 on her top runs, flying higher than rivals, nailing double 900s and six tricks to edge Chinas Li Fanghui for silver while Brit Zoe Atkin took bronze. ABC7 News says she competed in all three events halfpipe slopestyle and big air over 16 grueling days, snagging silvers in the latter two despite falls and missed training, calling it a big bet on herself that paid off huge.
Post-win, Gu got emotional learning her grandmother Guozhen Feng had passed she posted an Instagram tribute vowing bravery like her grandma inspired, per Powder magazine.
