What a story! Too much BS this year, but these events are what the Olympics and sport in general, is all about.

Hope she’s not a kneeler or flag burner.

Gold medal round is a pretty good time to put in your fastest time ever. Congratulations to the young lady!

Little sad the tunnel vision of the announcers, she wasn't even mentioned til 10 M left. They showed all 3 in a row, talking how the other American had to come from behind, but she was already in third and the Alaskan was right there tied for 1st

Hope she’s not a kneeler or flag burner. Hope so too. I had left officiating swim meets prior to her reaching high school, and don’t recall her as a younger kid at club meets. I will say though, in all that time, I never saw a kneeler at a swim meet and hope that streak continues.

Gold medal round is a pretty good time to put in your fastest time ever. Congratulations to the young lady! From her time to be invited to trials to gold, almost every swim was a PR. She almost literally came out of nowhere. The tiny AK swim community is ecstatic.

I noticed that too, Bob. They all knew Lily King would win! lol
