《VOGUE》HK:可否分享你在 Stanford University 史丹福大學讀書的校園生活點滴?

Eileen Gu:大學課程很精彩。我一直是個書呆子,所以即使高中時我提前畢業休學一年準備奧運會,我仍然努力探索感興趣的主題——物理和心理學。不過,重返校園對我來說變成了奢侈。事實上,當我去參加培訓、工作或比賽時,我會為錯過的每一節課完成額外的學分論文,所以我實際上比同輩做了更多的課業。第一次上完量子物理課後,我流着淚給媽媽發了短訊,因為教授把希格斯玻色子理論(Bosonic Field Theory)講解得精彩絕倫。當遠離了一個熱衷的事情如此之久,令我變得更加享受。

《VOGUE》HK:最初在美國太浩湖開始滑雪時,你只有 3 歲。能告訴我們更多關於你年幼時滑雪的回憶嗎?你是如何愛上這項運動的?

Eileen Gu:我在 8 歲開始接觸自由式滑雪,當時媽媽對我滑雪速度太快(從山頂直線滑行)感到緊張,而我的速度變得很危險。在當時滑雪教練的推薦下,她決定把我帶入滑雪隊。選項是自由滑雪或競速;她讓我進行自由滑雪,錯誤地認為這是兩者中更安全的選擇。

作為一位女性職業運動員,尤其是極限運動,並不容易。在 15 歲之前,我沒有遇過可以和我一起滑雪的同級別女孩。通常,我是度假村內唯一的女性自由滑雪者,所以我會給自己壓力,讓自己做更大、更好的技巧,試圖以積極正面地「代表」女性滑雪運動員。女性滑雪團體非常小而且聯繫緊密,所以我們總是試圖互相鼓勵,並幫助鼓勵剛剛開始這項運動的年輕女孩。最重要的是,作為一位女性運動員需要自信和韌力,傾聽消極情緒並選擇將其轉化為積極的動力,以及鼓勵身邊的其他女性。

《VOGUE》HK:在陡峭的山上會面對很多壓力和不確定性,你是如何克服這些壓力並讓自己平靜下來?

Eileen Gu:比賽中最困難的部分一直是應對來自內部和外部的壓力。我對自己的要求非常高,但我也很年輕,容易受影響。我做得越好,支持我的人越多,就越容易失去滑雪對我來說作為緩解煩惱的作用。我正在努力保護這部分不受世界影響。我喜歡競爭和 壓力,但我學會了以一種對我有用的方式來管理它,這就是所有擁有才華的運動員與冠軍的區別——他們在關鍵時刻表現的能力。

《VOGUE》HK:2022 年北京冬季奧運會為你帶來的最大得着是甚麼?

Eileen Gu:繼續做你喜歡做的事,不斷變得更好,永遠不要害怕嘗試新事物。我們現在認為理所當然的一切都曾經是一位先驅者踏出第一步而完成的,他為其他人鋪平了道路。「不可能」是一種暫時的存在狀態。看到冬季奧運會後自由式滑雪的熱度在全球以驚人的速度增長,讓我感到非常高興和自豪。我喜歡看到這種真實的文化轉變,尤其是在年輕人和女孩之中,通過參與體育運動實現自信、對話和個人成長。

《VOGUE》HK:作為 Tiffany & Co. 全球大使、IMG 模特兒,最近還在 Louis Vuitton 的 2023 年早春時裝騷上首次亮 相。時尚在你的生活中扮演甚麼角色,在過去數年如何演變?

Eileen Gu:對我來說,時尚代表了社會、政治、表達、賦權和文化的交集。它是創造性的、原始的、富有表現力的,它不斷地潮起潮落,以塑造及融入社會意識。在生活中,時尚幫助我與自己的女性氣質聯繫起來,在力量中發現美,以及培養我的創造力。

《VOGUE》HK:你的文化背景如何塑造你的世界觀?

Eileen Gu:作為體育界的美國亞裔女性,一切都與代表性有關。在一項缺乏亞裔美國人代表的運動項目中,這是一個很好的範例向更多人介紹這運動。如果我能做到,你為甚麼不能嘗試?滑雪給我帶來了很多快樂,亦教會了我很多在其他地方學不到的東西——韌力、應對壓力、學會打破自己的界限並推動自己每天都變得更好……它讓我在身心上都更健康,並建立了很多新的友誼。

《VOGUE》HK:你的下一步是甚麼?

Eileen Gu:找到平衡是我生命中最重要的事情。我喜歡滑雪,但我也喜歡跑步。我喜歡彈鋼琴,也喜歡在學校學習藝術史和量子物理學。我喜歡在時裝週盛裝打扮,也喜歡在健身室揮汗如雨。我一直不認同單向思維,在多方面都表現出色是有可能的,關鍵在於激情和時間管理。關於我未來的計劃:我期待即將到來的比賽,並繼續我在 Stanford University 的學業,以及在時尚和表演領域的工作和學習。
