Eileen Gu showcases heritage-inspired, gadget-filled ski suit at Milano Cortina 2026

American-born freeskier Eileen Gu, who competes for China, wore a fully personalized, heritage-inspired ski suit at the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics. Designed with a Stanford classmate and made by sponsor Anta, the bone-white suit nods to Chinese ceramics with blue graphics, dragon patches, and her name in graffiti-like lettering, plus a color-changing thermometer, a tiny compass and clouds to symbolize flying. Gu qualified for the women’s slopestyle final after a strong second run, overcoming an early slip to finish just behind the leader in Livigno.
