Former Chinese gymnast Wu Liufang has been slammed by compatriot and Olympic champion Guan Chenchen for posting viral “thirst trap” videos on social media that led to her account being partially banned on Sunday.

Wu uploaded videos of her dancing in short shorts, mini skirts and stockings that racked up tens of thousands of likes on Douyin – China’s TikTok – and which were later taken down.

Guan said that Wu’s “sexy” dancing videos were disrespectful. Wu’s account was later banned from accepting new followers for violating the platform’s “community regulations”.

“Sister, if you want to post thirst trap [videos], do it on your own, [but] don’t stain gymnastics. Your ‘positive energy’ is not needed,” Guan said about one of Wu’s videos on Friday.

Wu, 29, then responded by accusing Guan of “sour grapes” as the two continued to trade sarcastic blows in the comments section.

Guan said: “Sister, you’re so amazing, I’m so envious, you won so many medals and your records are great, you are great! I need to be more like you.”
