A Paraguayan swimmer sent packing from the Olympic village after a run-in with team chiefs has denied that she was thrown out of the Paris Games.
After a stand-off lasting several days, which gave Alonso enough time for a trip to Disneyland Paris, she finally left Paris for Texas, where she is a political sciences major at the Southern Methodist University in Dallas.
She appears to have taken offense, however, at media coverage of the battle between angry team chiefs and the Olympic hottie who just wanted to party.
But the row seems to have done her no harm in her other career—as a social media influencer. As of Tuesday, Alonso had 661,000 followers on her Instagram account, up by 200,000 in a week.
