Eileen Gu gave fans a polished glimpse into her latest competition moment as well as her downtime during the Winter Olympics.

“Yay ! Made slopestyle finals ! It was not easy but we did it ! I love the @olympics!” the freestyle skier and global sports star, 22, captioned a new Instagram post on Saturday, February 7, offering a behind-the-scenes look at her time in Livigno, Italy.

In the first photo, Gu was seen standing slopeside against a bright alpine backdrop, dressed head-to-toe in a crisp white ski ensemble. The technical jacket featured blue accents, zippered pockets, and graphic detailing along the sleeves, paired with coordinating snow pants. She completed the look with reflective blue ski goggles, a helmet, and gloves, holding her poles as she smiled at the camera, the snowy peaks stretching behind her.

Another image shifted the tone indoors, showing Gu relaxing in bed after a long day. She wore a simple black athletic top, her hair pulled up in a casual bun, while leaning against pillows with a book in hand. A copy of TIME magazine featuring Gu on the cover rested on the headboard behind her, adding a subtle nod to her growing cultural footprint beyond sports.

Fellow athletes and fans filled the comments with supportive messages, including Livvy Dunne, 23, who wished her luck.
