Winter Olympics: Eileen Gu expresses sympathy for Hess after Trump’s ‘loser’ attack

Following Donald Trump's criticism of freeskier Hunter Hess for expressing ambivalence about representing the U.S. during the immigration crackdown, fellow athletes have voiced their support for Hess. Trump called Hess "a real Loser" after Hess stated that wearing the flag doesn't mean he represents everything happening in the U.S. Eileen Gu, who competes for China, expressed sympathy for Hess, saying she could relate to being caught in the crossfire. Chloe Kim, whose parents are Korean immigrants, also spoke out, emphasizing the importance of unity and voicing opinions. Other snowboarders and skiers, including Bea Kim and Maddie Mastro, have also commented, highlighting diversity and the right to expression while acknowledging the divisions within the U.S.
