Paraguayan swimmer Luana Alonso has moved on from said discipline following her Olympic disappointment.
Alonso, who was removed from Olympic Village for alleged “inappropriate behavior,” doesn’t appear to have any regrets. The 20-year-old was reportedly kicked out as she was accused of distracting other athletes with her sultry outfits.
Having come up short in the women’s 100m butterfly heats, missing out on qualification by just .024 seconds, the Paraguay national has decided to retire.
She has since teased a new career that has nothing to do with swimming, retweeting a post urging her to compete for the title of “Miss Universe.”
The swimmer announced her retirement from swimming via Instagram last week.
“Swimming: thank you for allowing me to dream, you taught me to fight, to try, perseverance, sacrifice, discipline and many more,” she wrote.
“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.”
A career as a social media influencer could be a possibility as Luana Alonso is quickly approaching one million followers on IG. She’s currently at 855K.
Luana Alonso Was At The Center Of Controversy In Paris
Alonso’s trip to France sparked some controversy in her home country. The Paraguayan Olympic Committee reportedly asked her to pack up and return home and accused her of creating an “inappropriate atmosphere” within the team.
According to media outlets from the South American country, the Olympic leadership was infuriated after she chose to go to a tourist destination instead of supporting her teammates.
“Her presence is creating an inappropriate atmosphere within Team Paraguay,” chief Larissa Schaerer said in a statement. “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.”
For her part, Alonso has denied being removed. She has opted to retire in any case.

Seattle Seahawks rookie defensive tackle Byron Murphy got his training camp sessions started off with controversy after his name began to trend online because of an adult star.
Head Huncho, a transgender OnlyFans model, took to X and posted screenshots to expose Byron Murphy for wanting certain services done to him, but not paying her the $15,000 he allegedly promised.
The agent of Byron Murphy issued a statement Friday on the matter.
Ron Slavin, Murphy’s agent, said his client is a “victim of an extortion attempt from a text conversation that began and ended online.”
Slavin added that the Texas product had no contact with the model, and other young players in the league were also targeted by a similar blackmail scheme.
The statement further added Byron Murphy and his agent have handed the case over to the FBI, and all the people involved in the extortion and blackmail schemes targeted towards NFL players will be prosecuted.
