A Paraguayan swimmer sent packing from the Olympic village after a run-in with team chiefs has denied that she was thrown out of the Paris Games.
Luana Alonso, a 20-year-old influencer based in Texas, was excluded from the Paraguayan team after tearfully announcing her retirement from the sport from the poolside at Paris when she was dumped out of the heats of the women’s 100m butterfly.
Team chiefs were already less than impressed by Alonso’s constant social media posts and pouty Instagram clips from the French capital, but the blonde-haired, green-eyed swimmer decided to enjoy the the rest of her Paris holiday anyway, and continued to turn up in the athletes’ village.
