Well, things between Russian and American athletes are going swimmingly. Lilly King won her 100 m breaststroke semifinal. Yulia Efimova, one of the Russian athletes originally banned from the Olympics for doping, but now allowed to compete, also won hers. Afterward, Efimova was seen raising a finger with the #1 sign, and King was caught on camera wagging her finger in response.
King then didn’t back down when asked about it. “You’re raising your hand #1 and you’ve been caught for drug cheating, I’m just not a fan.”//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js
The two will face off head-to-head tomorrow night in the final.
