Eileen Gu says she's been 'physically assaulted' over representing China instead of US at Olympics

The decision has garnered backlash online and on camera from numerous figures. However, Gu recently claimed that some have taken it too far, including being "physically assaulted on the street."

"I certainly think that someone who grew up in the United States of America who benefited from our education system, from the freedoms and liberties that makes this country a great place, I would hope they want to compete with the United States of America," Vance said on "The Story With Martha MacCallum." 

Gu is the most decorated female Olympic freestyle skier of all time but has come up just short in Milan, settling for two silver medals. She won two golds in Beijing.
