Luana Alonso, a Paraguayan swimmer, did not succeed in the Olympic Games; she was eliminated in the first round of the competition. Additionally, information surfaced that she was expelled from the Olympic Village. After several days of silence, she decided to speak out. “I don't want to make any statement but I'm not going to let lies affect me either,” she wrote.

Luana Alonso competed in the 100-meter butterfly stroke and finished in sixth place, which did not qualify her for the semi-final. This meant she was eliminated from the Olympic Games on the first day, shocking everyone with the news that at age 20, she decided to retire from her sports career.

Despite this, she did not decide to leave Paris. She remained in the Olympic Village, enjoying herself and exploring the city. She visited places like Disneyland, documenting everything on social media. Her behaviour did not sit well with the Paraguayan Olympic Committee, which ordered her to leave the village due to "creating an inappropriate atmosphere".

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 - said Larissa Schaerer, head of the Paraguayan Olympic Committee mission.

They expelled her from the Olympic village. The "sexiest" swimmer of the games spoke out

Luana Alonso was dubbed the "sexiest" participant in the Olympic Games. She was accused of distracting other athletes by wearing skimpy outfits and socialising in the city. Now, she has decided to speak out, denying the claims that she was expelled from the Olympic Village.

I just wanted to clarify that I was never kicked out or expelled from anywhere, please stop spreading false information. I don't want to make any statement but I'm not going to let lies affect me either - wrote Luana Alonso on social media.
