:USA Lilly King has retired. Hopefully she becomes a full time shit stirrer on Twitter, we need more swimmers that are willing to stir drama.

I'll have you know one of the top American junior freestylers is named Lily King so you might have to wait for some time.

I really don't know why (it's certainly not because I share his first name), but somehow I've always found 'Martinot-Lagarde' one of the prettiest names in athletics

Too bad he's done now, it made me cheer for him
