Quan’s jaw dropped when Gu approached her and teammate Chen Yuxin after a press conference, with the 17-year-old covering her mouth and hopping excitedly.

“You are so beautiful, I’m so happy! You are so bright you are sparkling!” Quan exclaimed.

“You caught my eyes at first sight! This is the first time I am blushing so hard!”

“SHE IS ONE OF US FR,” one netizen wrote of Quan’s relatable fangirl behaviour.

Quan had gushed about Gu at the press briefing after the medal ceremony, and said she looked up to Gu, who was in the audience.

“She is so excellent and so beautiful,” Quan told reporters with a timid smile.
