PARIS — Lilly King, confidence shaken, former self distant, fell .01 seconds short of a medal here at the 2024 Olympics on Monday, finishing tied-for-fourth in the race she once owned.
King, a 27-year-old American star, swam the 100-meter breaststroke in 1:05.60 seconds, a bit off South African Tatjana Smith's gold medal-winning pace (1:05.28).
After a rough first 50 meters, though, which left her in seventh place of eight, King pushed toward the wall, and positioned herself for silver.
