The bio reads: “Pro skier and model, Stanford University. 2x Olympic gold medalist & model w IMG.

Eileen Gu’s rumored Raya profile goes viral as her Olympic success and China decision continue to draw attention

The viral image was shared by an X user who captioned the post: “Never canceling Raya after this.” Soon after, fans began discussing whether the account actually belonged to the Olympic star. Because Raya is a private platform that usually admits high-profile members, many people online believed it could be possible.

Still, no official confirmation has come from Gu or from the company behind the app.The discussion comes shortly after Gu’s strong performance at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan-Cortina, Italy. At the Games, she won two gold medals and one silver, which raised her total Olympic medal count to six. With that achievement, she became the most decorated freestyle skier in Olympic history.Despite her success, Gu has continued to face criticism from some voices in the United States because she chose to compete for China instead of the country where she was born and raised.

Her decision first drew attention before the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics and the debate returned again during the recent Games in Italy.Before the Olympics, U.S. Vice President JD Vance spoke about the topic during an interview with Fox News. He said:“Somebody who grew up in the United States of America, who benefited from our education system, from the freedoms and liberties that make this country a great place, I would hope they would want to compete with the United States of America.”He added: “So, I will root for American athletes and I think part of that is people who identify themselves as Americans. That’s who I am rooting for this Olympics.”Gu has explained her decision several times. After the recent Olympics, she shared a message on Instagram describing why she made the choice years ago.She wrote: “When I was 15, I announced my decision to compete for China.” Gu also spoke about the time she spent in China helping introduce young people to the sport. She wrote: “Skiing for Team China meant the opportunity to uplift others through the universal culture of sport, and to introduce freeskiing to hundreds of millions of people who had never heard of it.”While the debate about her Olympic decision continues, the latest online conversation about her rumored Raya profile has brought a different kind of spotlight to the 22-year-old skier.
