Paraguayan swimmer Luana Alonso wanted to represent US
Paraguayan swimmer Luana Alonso wanted to compete for the United States at the 2024 Paris Olympics instead of representing her home country, according to a report.
“I want to represent the United States more,” Alonso allegedly said during a live video on social media before the Olympics, Paraguayan outlet HOY reported.
The outlet claimed Alonso wanted to swim for the US because it’s where she attended college and Team USA Olympic qualifications are much different than Paraguay’s.
