Eileen Gu Injured in Serious Training Accident in New Zealand
In August 2025, Olympic champion Eileen Gu, 21, was involved in a “very terrible accident” while training at Cardrona Alpine Resort in New Zealand. The crash, reportedly caused by human error, required Gu to be airlifted to Christchurch for medical scans.
Gu later revealed that fan interference played a role in the incident, with people filming her contributing to a distraction-filled and dangerous situation on the slopes. Fortunately, she is receiving medical attention, though the incident underscores the risks athletes face during high-level training sessions.
