Career

Having finished third in the road race in the 2007 UCI B World Championships and second in the time trial, Gu qualified to represent her country at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. Gu crashed in the road race when she lost control of her bike on the wet roads, bringing others down with her. She eventually found herself falling into a concrete ditch on the side of the highway but got back on her bike to finish 59th. [2]
