Luana Alonso Denies Expulsion from Olympic Village

Paraguayan swimmer Luana Alonso has denied accusations of being expelled from the Paris 2024 Olympic Village for creating an 'inappropriate atmosphere,' stating she left voluntarily after failing to qualify for the Women's 100m Butterfly semi-final. Paraguayan Olympic Committee officials, including Larissa Schaerer and Camilo Perez, criticized Alonso's behavior, including a trip to Disneyland and remarks about preferring to represent the United States. Alonso, a student in the U.S., has expressed frustration over what she calls false information and rumors. Amid the controversy, she announced her retirement from swimming and hinted at a potential career change, possibly in beauty pageants.
