Eileen Gu . . . American born with US father and China born mother, decided to ski for China. She is only 18 and doesn't fully understand the ramifications. She is so popular in China, she stands to make huge Chinese money. But this is turning her back on the country that nurtured her. US allows dual citizenship, but China does not. She is favored to win 3 golds (for China) that otherwise would have been US medals. https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/olympics/2022/01/31/eileen-gu-china-freestyle-skiing-beijing-olympics/
Eileen Gu is another turncoat, but she is likely to be successful in her sport of freestyle skiing. Perhaps her Chinese mother convinced her China is the future of the world, plus lots o Chinese mammon.

...I am no expert in critiquing figure skating...
...but isn't one of the prerequisites to winning the Gold Medal in figure skating...
...is not falling onto the ice?
You can fall and still technically medal. It's based on the points of the overall program. 7 elements are required
,,,apparently this fall put her into last place...
...so the technical aspects of her performance didn't compensate for her failure to complete the program...
...in other words...
...she fell doing "elementary" level jumps....
...late uptoot...
...sorry....
She wins nada
