This has been one of the weirdest, most jarring parts of the Olympics, for me - the Australian broadcaster's profiling and general... Promotion, of Gu, sometimes at the expense of Australian athletes in the same event, or at least competing at the same time...
They show Gu's events over and over, while neglecting the Aussies competing in other events at the same time, and then go on and on, endlessly, about how she is "the face of the Games" and "It's Eileen Gu's world, and we're all just living in it", etc, etc, to the point of almost inducing vomit...
They even focus on interviewing her, at the expense of Australian athletes in the same event. They have also done that with a couple of other Americans, and one other Chinese...
It's twee, it's weird, it's jarring, it is blatant, bald-faced propaganda, and, as an actual Aussie, I fucking hate it...
Not sure if it is the same on NBC in the US, but seeing as she is actually American, I can only imagine...
