It’s been an eventful Paris Olympics for Paraguayan swimmer Luana Alonso.
The 20-year-old athlete — who retired from the sport after she failed to advance out of her heat and into the women’s 100m butterfly semifinals on July 27 — was asked to leave the Olympic Village for creating an inappropriate environment,
“Her presence is creating an inappropriate atmosphere within Team Paraguay,” Larissa Schaerer, the head of the Paraguayan Olympic Committee, said in a statement published by the outlet.“We thank her for proceeding as instructed, as it was of her own free will that she did not spend the night in the Athletes’ Village.”
Alonso had reportedly been staying in the Olympic Village despite announcing her retirement from the sport. Paraguayan media outlets reported that Alonso had spent time in Disneyland instead of supporting her teammates, upsetting the country’s Olympic leadership.She finished sixth in her heat with a time of 1:03.09, which was higher than her 1:00.37 from her heat in the Tokyo Olympics three years ago.
