- Abstract
As a very important part of sports reporting, the presentation and shaping of athletes ‘ media image has attracted much attention from all walks of life. After reviewing the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, the official reports on the construction of Gu Ailing’s media image and the personal image created by Gu Ailing herself on the Douyin platform can be found that the two perspectives complement each other. The image created by the media is mainly based on Gu Ailing’s professional achievements, combined with her special cultural background, making it a symbol of Chinese skiing genius growing up in the cross-cultural context, and the superficial meaning represented by “Gu Ailing” is constantly amplified. Gu Ailing’s self-construction is biased in favor of daily life, constantly concrete description of the actual life, adding specific details to the magnified part of the media image of “Gu Ailing”, so that it continues to deepen and form a more perfect expression.
