- Chinese-American freestyle skier.
- Is of Chinese & American descent.
- Gu is an American citizen by birth and obtained Chinese citizenship prior to 2019 to compete for China internationally. Since then it is unclear if Gu has renounced her American citizenship because China does not recognize dual citizenship for people over 18, but has been known to be lax in enforcing this policy for star athletes. Her athlete profile on Red Bull stated "Gu decided to give up her American passport and naturalize as a Chinese citizen" but the passage was later deleted. Gu's name has never appeared on the U.S. Treasury Department's list of expatriated individuals, which is published quarterly of people who have formally renounced U.S. citizenship.
- Although she was born and raised in the United States, she competes internationally for China, because she says she wants to encourage Chinese girls to take up sports.
