American swimmer Lilly King, who made headlines Sunday with her strong words and finger-wagging assault on rival and chief competitor Yulia Efimova, backed up her tough talk in the women's 100m breaststroke final. King set an Olympic record as she edged Efimova for the gold medal, while American Katie Meili took the bronze.
King, a 19-year-old Indiana native and first-time Olympian, led almost wire to wire as she earned her first Olympic gold medal.
After the swim, the outspoken King was at a bit of a loss for words.
