Kate Douglass, Lilly King go 1-2 in King's last race in a U.S. pool at swimming nationals
In a passing of the torch, Olympic 200m breaststroke champion Kate Douglass overtook Lilly King, the 100m breast world record holder, in the 100m event in King's final career domestic race at the Toyota U.S. Championships on Friday. Douglass edged King by 23 hundredths of a second at the IU Natatorium in Indianapolis, a pool that the Evansville native King has been racing in since she was 10 years old. Both Douglass and King made the team for the World Championships in July and August in Singapore, which will be King's last major international meet. King has won a medal at a major international meet every year (save 2020) since her breakout 2016, when she won Olympic 100m breast gold after her freshman season at Indiana University. SWIMMING: Broadcast Schedule | Results Also Friday, Katie Ledecky added a 400m free title to her 800m free crown from Tuesday. She hasn't lost to an American in a 400m free since placing third at the 2012 Olympic Trials at age 15. Rising Stanford junior Rex Maurer won the men's 400m free in 3:43.33 — the fastest time ever in a U.S. pool — to become the third-fastest American in history. Maurer's mom, Lea, won relay gold and 100m backstroke bronze at the 1992 Barcelona Games. Luka Mijatovic, 16, finished second, which will likely be enough to make the world championships team once the meet ends Saturday. Mijatovic would be the youngest U.S. man to swim at worlds since Michael Phelps in 2001. World record holder Regan Smith won the 100m backstroke after placing second in the 50m and 200m distances. She can swim all three backstrokes, plus the 200m butterfly, at worlds. Campbell McKean, 18, took the men's 100m breast by lowering his personal best from 1:00.40 to 58.96 on Friday, one year after placing 21st at the Olympic Trials. On Thursday, McKean won the 50m breast by lowering his personal best from 27.40 to 26.90 between prelims and the final. The Toyota U.S. Championships end Saturday with finals at 7 p.m. ET, live on Peacock. Nick Zaccardi,

Olympic swimmer engulfed in ‘inappropriate' behaviour accusations makes fiery statement
Luana Alonso will no longer stay silent. The Paraguayan swimmer who reportedly was booted out of the Olympic Village during last year's Summer Games has fired back at 'false rumours' surrounding her departure from Paris. Alonso posted a fiery statement on her Instagram stories this week, hitting out at the reports that she was removed for creating an 'inappropriate atmosphere.' 'Let me make this clear: I left the Olympic Village on my own,' she wrote on Wednesday. 'These are false rumours that have hurt my name and my career.' Alonso ignited a firestorm at the Games last summer, going viral for alleged behaviour behind the scenes at the village. The 21-year-old swimmer competed for Paraguay in the women's 100-metre butterfly, but failed to reach the semifinals – and then seemingly announced her abrupt retirement from the sport in a post on Instagram. But instead of heading home, Alonso stayed in the French capital to see the sights – which were well-documented on her social media account – before reportedly got her booted by her country's Olympic committee for creating an 'inappropriate atmosphere.' 'Her presence is creating an inappropriate atmosphere within Team Paraguay,' Larissa Schaerer, the head of the Paraguayan Olympic Committee (COP), said in a statement at the time. But, 11 months later, Alonso is now firing back at the accusations. 'The Paraguayan Olympic team claimed I created an 'inappropriate environment' simply because I decided I didn't want to swim anymore,' she said. 'They tried to take my accreditation away, but that's not something they had the right to do. I chose not to hand it over and apparently that was 'inappropriate' to them.' The Daily Mail also reported that Alonso was accused of being a distraction to her fellow competitors with her socializing and attire. She was often seen sporting stylish outfits as opposed to team uniforms and opted to take a trip to Disneyland Paris instead of cheering on her compatriots. 'I was judged for wearing skinny clothes, for socializing, and for not conforming,' she added. 'That's not inappropriate — that's being a young adult. 'I had finished racing. I was no longer obligated to stay. If others saw that as disrespectful, that's on them.' Alonso reportedly checked into a Parisian hotel after leaving the Olympic Village, and visited high-end stores and restaurants. But despite the contentious nature between herself and her country's Olympic committee, the Southern Methodist University alum claims she was asked by Paraguayan swimming officials to return to the pool for the Pan American Junior Games, which are being held in the country's capital, Asunción, this August. 'If I had been treated like a human being, maybe I would have stayed,' she said. 'But they made me feel like a problem.'

The two-time Olympian also threatened legal action against media outlets that are spreading the 'false rumours' about her. 'I'm seriously considering legal action against the magazines and media outlets spreading false rumours like that I was expelled from the Olympic Village. Really? Who came up with that nonsense? Well that it's not true,' she wrote. She also teased that she would be releasing a video to better explain her thinking. 'Seriously (these) lies are wild and affecting my life and that's why I decided I'm keeping my life lowkey,' she said.
