“Should I Wear A Jacket?”: National Athlete Claps Back At Criticism Over “Skimpy” Swimsuit

“It’s absolutely right to show your true self,” somebody else noted. “Swimming is not just a sport; it’s a way of life. I support your confidence and determination.”

“What kind of people criticize Liu? They must have shadows in their minds, leading them to perceive everything negatively,” a separate user suggested.

Earlier this year, Liu responded to a user who commented on her weight gain, particularly in her legs.

“OK, I know I am fat. It’s a healthy beauty. I embrace everything about myself. I am the most beautiful one,” the content creator replied, as per the South China Morning Post .

While Liu’s social media accounts remain active, another Chinese athlete , Wu Liufang, had her account banned for posting “ thirst trap ” videos, according to the outlet. The former gymnast reportedly gained millions of followers after her ban was lifted a week later.
