PARIS: Paraguay's swimmer has been kicked out of the Olympic Village for unruly behaviour. The Paraguayan Olympic Committee took strict action against 20-year-old Luana Alonso. The action came after Luana was found to be dressing provocatively and misbehaving to distract her Olympic teammates.
Paraguayan Olympic Committee chief Larissa Schaerer said "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." It is claimed that the swimmer went out at night without spending time in the Olympic Village and she also went to see Disney Land in Paris.

Meanwhile, Luana Alonso responded that she was never expelled and false information should not be spread. Luana had missed the semi-final in the women's 100m butterfly heats by 0.24 seconds. She had announced her retirement with this. "It's official now! I'm retiring from swimming, thank you all so much for the support! Sorry Paraguay. I only have to thank you!" Luana posted on Instagram. Luana is also a popular Instagram star with more than seven lakh followers.
