Paraguayan athlete Alonso’s journey at the Paris 2024 Games concluded after she did not advance past the women’s 100-meter butterfly heats. However, she was not allowed to stay in the Athletes’ Village for the remainder of the Games. According to local media, Alonso spent a night out in Paris and visited Disneyland instead of supporting her teammates.
“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 a statement by Paraguayan Olympic Committee boss Larissa Schaerer.
“She called time on her career after missing out on qualification for the semi-final by a mere 0.24 seconds,” reported The Sun.
