Luana Alonso, the Paraguayan swimmer who announced an impromptu retirement followed by a problematic exit from the Olympic Village in Paris during this summer’s Games, has returned to training.

The 20-year-old took to Instagram on Saturday and posted an image standing in front of a gym mirror. It will be her comeback to social media after declaring she would retire following the July 27 women’s 100-meter butterfly event, where she finished at a distant seventh spot in the heats and failed to advance.

Hence, this was a post where the Paris Olympics-bound Alonso showed her warrior character with an Olympic rings tattoo on her hip and she wore blue Nike Pro shorts and sports bra in it. 

Her retirement has come with a background cloud of controversy and means she is no longer in the Olympic Village. Alonso was being escorted out of the Village for creating a toxic environment, though she has flatly denied these accusations.

Alonso, whose Instagram Story has since-expired and was snapped by Carlos Martins da Rocha via social media, responded with a message that read: “I just wanted to make it clear that I was never removed or expelled from anywhere, stop spreading false information. I don’t want to give any statement but I’m not going to let lies affect me either.”

After her competition at the Paris Games, Paraguay’s Olympic committee issued a statement saying Alonso had been “given notice to exit from the Village.” 

“Her presence is creating an inappropriate atmosphere within Team Paraguay,” Larissa Schaerer, head of the Paraguayan Olympic Committee, 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.”

Suggesting that the Olympic Committee was annoyed at Alonso for visiting sites like Disneyland rather than being behind her teammates in the Village, reports from Paraguayan media said.

That led to further controversy when The Daily Mail reported that Alonso had become a distraction to other athletes.
