Luana Alonso retired from competing and somehow disgraced her country with her actions.
Alonso has been booted out of the Olympics for her outrageous behavior.
The Paraguayan’s participation at the Paris 2024 Games came to an end after she failed to progress past the women’s 100m butterfly heats.
Losing wasn’t the issue, but her behavior afterward was as she wouldn’t be permitted to stay in the Athletes’ Village for reportedly spending a night out in Paris and going to Disneyland rather than staying to support teammates.
A statement from Paraguayan Olympic Committee boss Larissa Schaerer read: “Her presence is creating an inappropriate atmosphere within Team Paraguay.
“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,” per The Sun.
Luana Alonso has yet to send a statement stating her departure from the Athletes’ Village.
The 20-year-old athlete retired from the sport after failing to advance out of her heat and into the women’s 100m butterfly semifinals on July 27th, but she never left the Olympic headquarters.
Besides being kicked out of the Olympic Village, Luana Alonso will end her career, finishing 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.
Luana Alonso Speaks Out Amid Retirement
Luana Alonso made her Olympic debut aged just 17 at the Tokyo games in 2021, and is one of the youngest in the sport to hang it all up.
The 20-year-old announced her retirement from the sport on social media to her 500,000 Instagram followers.
She wrote: “Swimming: thank you for allowing me to dream, you taught me to fight, to try, perseverance, sacrifice, discipline and many more.
“I gave you part of my life and I don’t change it for anything in the world because I lived the best experiences of my life, you gave me thousands of joys, friends from other countries that I will always carry them in my heart, unique opportunities.
“It’s not goodbye, it’s see you soon,” she concluded.
After being sent several messages of support on social media, she clarified that her decision to retire had nothing to do with these games, as she made the decision a long time ago.
