00:00Maybe the most controversial athlete, the most expensive athlete at the Winter Games, Eileen Gu. Let's hear from her.
00:06So do you see these as two silvers gained or two goals lost?
00:12I'm the most decorated female free skier in history. I think that's an answer in and of itself.
00:20How do I say this? Winning a medal at the Olympics is a life-changing experience for every athlete.
00:27Doing it five times is exponentially harder because every medal is equally hard for me, but everybody else's expectations rise,
00:35right?
00:36And so the two medals lost situation, to be quite frank with you, I think is kind of a ridiculous
00:43perspective to take.
00:44I'm showcasing my best skiing. I'm doing things that quite literally have never been done before.
00:50And so I think that is more than good enough, but thank you.
00:57Yes, so what she's saying, things people have never seen before, is you are an American, but you are participating
01:02for China and only for the paycheck.
01:04You know what I would love to if she got through is, hey, look, I got so much money coming
01:07in here from China.
01:08Like, it'd be stupid for me not to. And most people are like, you know what?
01:11I respect that at that point because a lot of people have done a lot of things for more money,
01:14even if it might not be the correct thing in a sports landscape here.
01:18So I just wish, again, just come clean. Like Barry Bonds, of course I took steroids and I used the
01:24cream.
01:24I want to be the best player. You know what happened in three days? He goes in the Hall of
01:27Fame.
01:27Pete Rose, day number one, I'm a madman. I had an addiction. I gambled. I'm sorry.
01:32Within a year, he would have been in the Hall of Fame here. Just admit it, and most people can
01:36move on, Joe. Isn't that right?
01:38You know, Donnie, I loved her response after the question because that laugh that she gave, that guy was spot
01:45on, that reporter.
01:46Don't think for one minute she's happy with silver. That's not even remotely in the vocabulary.
01:53She is, a big part of her is bent that she didn't get. So yeah, the two medals lost, yeah,
01:59you did because you were supposed to get gold.
02:02You probably thought you were going to get gold. And silver, yeah, is not gold. So, and that laugh tells
02:08me he hit it right on the head there.
