American Lilly King
Rio de Janeiro - Arab Today
American Lilly King produced one of the most popular victories at Rio 2016 on Monday by winning gold in the women's 100-metre breaststroke, denying twice-banned Russian Yulia Efimova in the process.
Efimova was booed upon being introduced to the crowd and when 19-year-old King touched the wall to win in an Olympic record time of 1 minute 4.93 seconds she was given a rapturous reception.
Efimova's time was 1:05.50. Katie Meili of the U.S. won the bronze in 1:05.69.
