Gu alleged to The Athletic she was attacked on the street at the age of 15 for her decision to leave the United States and not compete for her home country during the 2022 Beijing Olympics.
“Physically assaulted on the street,” Gu said of the alleged incident while in Livigno last week for the 2026 Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics.
“The police were called. I’ve had death threats. I’ve had my dorm robbed.
“I’ve gone through some things as a 22-year-old that I really think no one should ever have to endure, ever.”
