Lilly King talks confidence, comebacks, and closing out career on her own terms

King, a native of Evansville, Indiana, and a standout swimmer for the Indiana Hoosiers, competed at the 2016, 2020, and 2024 Olympic Games, winning six medals across her career. Her retirement announcement came just days before the start of the USA Swimming Toyota National Championships on June 3—held at the Indiana University Natatorium in Indianapolis, the pool where she first began racing as a 10-year-old.
“It has always been important to me that my last meet in the (United States) be at the pool that started it all,” King said. “I have been racing in the Indiana University Natatorium since I was 10 years old. From state meets, to the NCAA Championships, USA Swimming Nationals, and anything in between, this pool has been my home… I look forward to racing in front of a home crowd one last time. See you in Indy!”

An 18-time world champion and 27-time world medallist, King arrived in Indianapolis for what she had planned to be her final U.S. meet. The Nationals also served as the selection trials for the 2025 World Aquatics Championships in Singapore, with only the top two swimmers in each event qualifying for Team USA.
Predictably confident in familiar surroundings, King said: “We are here a lot for big meets. It’s exciting to always be able to swim here. I think everyone has a routine when they are here—perhaps not everyone’s routine is as down pat as mine, because I have been swimming here my whole life.”
King opted out of the 200m breaststroke and opened her competition in the 50m breaststroke—an event recently added to the Olympic program, though she has said another Olympic medal chase isn’t in her future. On June 5, she led her heat in 30.15 and went on to win the final in a field of 51 swimmers with the only sub-30-second time: 29.88. Her farewell tour was officially extended, with a spot secured for Singapore.
A day later, King finished second in the 100m breaststroke final—just 0.23 seconds behind Kate Douglass—securing her second World Championship berth. It was a fitting performance for the 28-year-old, who still holds the world record in the 100m breaststroke, set at the 2017 World Championships in Budapest.
In a post-race interview on NBC, King was her usual candid self: “Honestly, I just took a little bit too much caffeine before my race, so I was about to jump out of my skin anyway. I am super grateful to be here. I appreciate you all being here and coming out and supporting me, forever! It’s been such a great ride and I can’t wait to represent Team USA again this summer.”

How did you feel about your swim in the 50m breaststroke? It was good—any time I can go under 30, it’s a good race. I like to win, and any time I get to do that is special. Doing it in front of a crowd makes it even more fun. It’s still exciting to be able to do this at my age. Coming off the blocks, I can hear Ray (Looze, my coach) in my head saying, “Don’t look around!”—but I don’t always listen to Ray. Every season gets a little harder as I get older, and that’s something I’ve had to work through. It’s tough to keep your confidence when you’re not hitting the in-season times you were hitting three, four, five years ago. But I take pride in overcoming that mental block.
What was your take on your 100m breaststroke performance? The first 50 felt good—I think I was 30.6 going out. The front half looked strong; the back end is always a little messy. At a trials meet, you just have to get up and go for it. Of course, I’d love to be under 1:06, but we’ve got a solid training block ahead, and I’m excited to sharpen up before Worlds.
What’s been the secret to your longevity in the sport? I’ve been really fortunate not to have had any major injuries. A lot of that comes down to taking care of myself. I take pride in that and try to set an example for the younger athletes—especially when it comes to stretching and recovery. And, honestly, I think I’ve just been lucky too.
Did the announcement about 50m stroke events being added to the LA Olympics make you reconsider retirement? No! Well… yes, for about six hours. I called my mom and we talked it through. I had maybe a day of thinking it over. But I was already sure I was going to take next year off. I woke up the next morning and said to myself, “We’re good. Let the young ones have it.”
So when will you officially retire? Now that I’ve qualified for the World Championships, I’ll retire after my last event in Singapore. After that, I’ll be cheering everyone on—so, good luck, everyone! Honestly, this has been my plan for at least five years. I’ve always known Paris would be my last Olympics. Would I love to swim in LA? Sure. But I’m also really excited to watch swimming in LA. I’m ready to move on and just be a normal human being.
What are your goals for the World Aquatics Championships in Singapore? To swim fast! It’s nice going to Singapore without having to swim the 200. I didn’t do it at Short Course Worlds either. That gives me a few days to rest and get some training in between events. When I was doing my full schedule, I was swimming from Day 2 through Day 8—that’s a lot. I think the 200’s been affecting my 50 a bit, so I’m excited to be able to go all-in with a little more recovery.
What’s it meant to you to race the last few years at trials events in Indianapolis? It’s been great. I love racing here. It just happened that the last few years worked out for me to swim at this pool and then at Lucas Oil Stadium last year. It’s been a cool way to close out this chapter of my career.
Were you able to take in the crowd’s support this week? Yeah, I think I soak it in a little more when I’m here. I get a lot of love from the crowd, and I really appreciate it. I’m not sad—actually, I’m really excited. I’m feeling a lot of gratitude. I’m not super nostalgic just yet, and I don’t know if I will be. I’m not a very emotional person, but I’ll try to keep it together. I’m doing okay—it’s all good!
Looking back on your journey, what stands out the most? I’m really happy with how everything turned out. I’ve been fortunate to swim with—and learn from—so many amazing people. I got to hear their stories, pick up their tips and tricks, and be part of something special with the national team. I’m grateful for that, and I hope I’ve passed some of that along.
Gabby Keefer is the All-Minnesota Athlete of the Year in girls track and field
When St. Michael-Albertville senior Gabby Keefer arrives at the track and field state championships, she’s at home.

When St. Michael-Albertville senior Gabby Keefer arrives at the track and field state championships, she’s at home.
Not just because she’s been a regular competitor in Class 3A state since eighth grade, but because the Knights have hosted the championships since 2021. Keefer’s jumping marks from practice were still notched along the long and triple jump runways at this June’s state competition.
“You can really relax,” Keefer said. “It feels like just another day at practice.”
Except a typical practice doesn’t end with four medals around Keefer’s neck. This year, the multi-talented University of South Florida commit led the Class 3A girls field in scoring, with 40 points for her team across four events. She earned gold in the 100 meters with a time of 11.89 seconds, placed second in both the 200m and long jump (by a half-inch), and third in the triple jump.
Named Minnesota’s 2025 Ms. Track & Field, Keefer finished her high school career with three first-place, three second-place and three third-place finishes at state — and now, All-Minnesota Athlete of the Year in girls track and field.
“Her first day of practice, we had about 200 athletes,” recalled St. Michael-Albertville head coach Lily Johnson. “She came right up to me and said, ‘Hey, coach Johnson, I’m Gabby, and I’m ready to work.’”
Keefer was ready because track and field success is no rarity in her family.
Her mom and coach, Tiffini, was an All-American heptathlete at South Dakota State. Her older sister, Anna, won six individual state titles for the Knights and set a state record in the long jump (20 feet, 1.25 inches) before her All-American career at North Carolina.
Heat safety tips as heat dome brings blistering temperatures to US

Here are some of the key warning signs to watch for when temperatures rise – and ways to keep cool when the heat and humidity get too high.
WASHINGTON — Story from The Conversation by Brian Bossak, College of Charleston.
Beach trips, cookouts and other outdoor activities are in full swing as summer arrives and the first widespread heat wave of 2025 hits the U.S.
For many people, summer is their favorite time of year. However, summer also brings the risk of dangerously high temperatures.
In the U.S., hundreds of people working or playing outside – even those who seem healthy – succumb to heat-related illnesses each year. Older adults and people in areas that historically haven’t needed air conditioning tend to see the highest rates of illnesses during heat waves, as Chicago saw in 1995 when at least 700 people died in a heat wave.
Even in places where heat is recognized as a dangerous health threat, people can be caught off guard as the thermometer creeps higher, on average, each year. In some cases, dangerous heat can arise quickly. In 2021, a young family died of heat stroke on a California trail after setting out for a hike when temperatures were still in the 70s Fahrenheit (low to mid 20s Celsius).
I study health risks in a warming climate as a professor of public health, and I’ve seen heat become a growing concern. Here are some of the key warning signs to watch for when temperatures rise – and ways to keep cool when the heat and humidity get too high.
Signs of heat-related illness to watch for
Heat-related illnesses occur across a spectrum, and mild heat stress can quickly progress to life-threatening heat stroke if a person is exposed to dangerous conditions for too long.
Mild forms of heat-related illness include heat cramps and heat rash, both of which can be caused by extensive sweating during hot conditions. Cooling the body and drinking cool fluids can help.
When heat-related illnesses progress into heat exhaustion, the situation is more serious. Heat exhaustion includes symptoms such as dizziness, nausea, excessive sweating, feeling weak, thirst and getting a headache.
Heat exhaustion is a signal that the body is losing its ability to maintain a stable core temperature. Immediate action such as moving to a cool, ideally air-conditioned space, drinking liquids, loosening clothes and applying wet cloths are some of the recommended steps that can help keep heat exhaustion from progressing to the most dangerous form of heat-related illness, heat stroke.
Heat stroke is a medical emergency. At this point, the body can no longer maintain a stable core temperature. A body with heat stroke can reach 106 degrees Fahrenheit or higher rapidly, and that heat can quickly damage the brain, heart and kidneys.
Typically, someone suffering heat stroke has exhausted their reserves of sweat and salt to stay cool, so sweating eventually stops during heat stroke. Their cognitive ability fails, and they cannot remove themselves from danger. Heat stroke can cause seizures or put someone into a coma as their core temperature rises. If the condition is not treated immediately, and the core temperature continues to rise, heat stroke becomes fatal.
Because heat exhaustion can lead to heat stroke, addressing heat-related illnesses before they progress is vital.
How to tell when the heat is too high
Heat risk isn’t just about temperature – humidity also increases the risk of heat-related illnesses because it affects how well sweating will cool the human body when it gets hot.
Instead of just looking at temperature when planning outdoor activities, check the heat index, which accounts for heat illness risk associated with temperature and relative humidity.
It doesn’t take very high temperatures or very high humidity for the heat index to enter dangerous territory.
However, the heat index is still a conservative measure of the impact of heat on humans, particularly for outdoor workers and athletes at summer practices. This is because temperature measurements used in weather forecasting are taken in the shade and are not exposed to direct sunlight. If someone is outside and exposed to the direct sun, the actual heat index can be as much as 15 F higher than the heat index chart indicates.
A more sophisticated measurement of heat effects on human health is what’s known as the wet-bulb globe temperature, which takes into account other variables, such as wind speed and cloud cover. Neither takes into account a person’s physical exertion, which also raises their body temperature, whether working at a construction site or playing soccer.
Tips for staying safe in a heat wave
How can you stay cool when heat waves set in? The answer depends in part on where you are, but the main points are the same:
– Avoid strenuous outdoor activities in high temperatures if possible. If you start to feel symptoms of heat-related illnesses, drink fluids that will hydrate you. Find shade, rest, and use cool, damp cloths to lower your body temperature. If you see signs of heat stroke in someone else, call for medical help.
– Be careful with fans. Fans can be useful if the temperature isn’t too high because they wick sweat away from the body and induce evaporative cooling. But at very high temperatures, they can accelerate heat buildup in the body and lead to dangerous conditions. If indoor temperatures reaches 95 degrees or higher, using fans can actually be dangerous and raise the risk of heat-related illnesses.
– Find a cooling center, library or community center where you can get inside and rest in an air-conditioned space in the hottest hours. In places such as Phoenix, where high temperatures are a regular hazard, cooling centers are typically opened in summer. Northern cities are also opening cooling centers as heat waves occur there more frequently than they did in the past. Urban areas with a lot of pavement and buildings – known as heat islands – can have temperatures well above the city’s average.
– Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate! Drink plenty of fluids, and don’t forget about the importance of electrolytes. Heat-related dehydration can occur when people sweat excessively, losing water and necessary salts from the body. Some sports drinks or rehydration fluids restore electrolytes and hydration levels.
Older adults and people with disabilities often face higher risks from heat waves, particularly if they can’t easily move to a cooler environment. Communities and neighbors can help protect vulnerable populations by providing cooling centers and bottled water and making regular wellness checks during high heat.
Summer can be a season of fun. Just remember the risks, keep an eye on your friends and neighbors when temperatures rise, and plan ahead so you can beat the heat.

Matin Balsini, Alaa Maso and Eyad Masoud each have their own powerful stories of how they have overcome huge challenges and adversity to thrive on the highest sporting stage, and Singapore 2025 will be the latest milestone in their proud careers.
Olympic Solidarity’s Refugee Athlete Scholarship programme remains open for National Olympic Committees (NOCs) to apply for financial and technical assistance for refugee athletes who are aiming to compete at the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games and other international competitions.
World Aquatics Refugee Team continues to inspire refugee athletes
World Aquatics has a long-standing commitment to enabling refugee athletes to fulfil their potential and compete at major events, and is proud that Singapore 2025 will mark the fifth edition of the World Aquatics Championships to feature a Refugee Team.
Swimmers Balsini, Maso and Masoud have established their global profiles by competing at previous major events, and they will line-up again as part of the World Aquatics Refugee Team in Singapore.

Balsini was selected for the IOC’s Refugee Olympic Team at Paris 2024, where he competed in the Men’s 200m Butterfly, and then represented the World Aquatics Refugee Team at the World Aquatics Swimming Championships (25m) in Budapest, Hungary in December 2024.
Maso was the other swimming representative in the Refugee Olympic Team at Paris 2024, competing in the Men’s 50m Freestyle, and this will be his sixth appearance at the World Aquatics Championships or World Aquatics Swimming Championships (25m) as part of the World Aquatics Refugee Team. He discovered swimming at an early age growing up in Aleppo, but left Syria in 2015 following damage to his training facilities and the escalating impact of the conflict, ultimately settling in Germany.

“Many people lose belief in themselves after moving to a new country. You have so many things to be thinking about, whether that be settling in or adjusting to a new lifestyle, your hobby isn’t necessarily the first thing on your mind,” Maso told World Aquatics during the World Aquatics Swimming Championships (25m) in Budapest.
“But I want to show that you can achieve so much, even while navigating immense challenges”
Masoud will also be competing in his fifth World Championships across short course and long course swimming in Singapore, having set short course personal bests in the Men’s 50m and 100m Butterfly at the World Aquatics Swimming Championships (25m) in Budapest last year. He fled Syria because of the war and settled in New Zealand, where he now trains at the AUT Millennium Sports Centre.

“It’s an honour to compete on the world stage and to send a message to refugees everywhere: if you have a dream, keep working towards it”
“It’s also not just about refugees, but about anyone facing challenges,” Masoud added.
This trio of athletes will continue to inspire refugee athletes from around the world through their remarkable achievements, and their stories will continue at the World Aquatics Championships – Singapore 2025.
Refugee Athlete Support available through Olympic Solidarity
Applications remain open for NOCs whose countries host refugees to apply for Refugee Athlete Scholarships through the IOC’s Olympic Solidarity.
The standard individual scholarship budget is USD 1,500 per month per recipient, and this can cover access to appropriate training facilities, specialised coaching, regular medical and scientific assistance and monitoring, accident and illness insurance, travel and accommodation.
These scholarships are open for refugee athlete candidates who meet the conditions in the Refugee Athlete Support Guidelines, including being recognised refugees or beneficiaries of international protection according to the UNHCR, proven high-level competition results and no convictions for doping offences or actions contrary to the standards of sporting ethics.
Host NOCs with refugee athletes that fulfil the eligibility criteria can submit candidatures on Olympic Solidarity’s RELAY platform using the refugee scholarship application form.
Athletes or (Love) Islanders, That Is the Question

Every year, we get a bunch of shows that push the boundaries when it comes to what feels like too much intercourse on commercial TV. I feel like the OTT platform is an experiment in how much can be tolerated. Now, from what I’ve read, it seems like Gen Z isn’t as sex-positive as their predecessors, in that they prefer to keep their TV clean, just like how they leave their dishes after a fancy meal. But maybe things are different in Spain, because we keep getting movies and shows that are more focused on being outrageously scandalous than giving us any actual material to work with. And you know, you might just call me prudish or old-fashioned for putting these thoughts down, but when a show is solely steamy for the sake of it, leaving everything else behind, you know it’s not worth your time.
Olympo’s premise is a promising and exciting one. In a world of competitive athletes, there’s no room for imperfection, and a lot of space for pushing yourself to unexplored limits. The show tells the story of Amaia and her friends, a bunch of elite athletes at the HPC Pyrenees. The show begins with Amaia and her friends all happy and excited to get selected for the prestigious Olympo scholarship, essentially a guaranteed ticket to the Olympics. However, the competition goes too hard, and nobody is ready to back down. What follows is an energetic mess of drugs, steamy scenes, and all things competition.
Before I get into the negatives, there are some things about this show that make it perfect for the summertime. It’s got all the thrills of a hit in the making, but I do think it lacks that oomph that would make it memorable, just like much of what we get to see today. In Olympo, the focus isn’t on one character but on a bunch of athletes, all pursuing different sports. This allows anybody who isn’t interested in any specific sports to still watch this show as an outsider and enjoy it. Rather than focusing on the technicalities of how to be good at each of these sports, the show glazes over all that, which could feel superficial but is still intriguing. I think the most fun thing about the show is watching the swimmers do their synchronized swimming. Plus, all of these young stars are incredibly well built and look the part. The running sequences are also pretty cool, and there are some slow-motion shots that feel very cinematic.
The thing that makes the show so darn annoying is the host of characters that are all unlikable just because they exist in a competitive world. I found this almost slanderous towards the world of sports because, despite the competition and the pressure, the whole point is to keep it together and hold your head high. On the surface, Olympo may feel original or new, but it’s pushed down several notches simply because of its undesirable and unlikable characters. Yes, I said undesirable, because we don’t get any actual details of their personalities. Sure, they can be hot, but what about an actual personality? It can’t just be “highly ambitious” and “ready to destroy everybody in their way.”
Don’t get me wrong, the cast is phenomenal, because how do you get so many people who look like actual athletes to come together in one show? But the characters are highly detestable, and every episode is a bore as the show progresses, because it almost feels like everything is going backwards. But out of all the characters who are distinctly annoying, the standout has got to be the protagonist, Amaia. We’re meant to admire her because of how hard she works to become the best athlete/synchronized swimmer that all of Spain has ever seen, but her likeability quotient just dips every time she opens her mouth. Honestly, she’s giving Emily competition at this point. And I know she’s just a teenager and she’s got everyone’s back, but I’m sorry, I’ve not got so much as a shred of sympathy for her, even if she’s played by Clara Galle, of Through My Window fame. The other main characters aren’t that much better either. Sports are also about teamwork and sportsmanship, not just ambition and competition. Because of this, the show starts to get quite tiresome after the first few episodes.
Really, the conflicts could’ve been wrapped up in like 5 episodes, but they had to be dragged on for 8 episodes to make us feel like we’ve won a competition ourselves by predicting what’s going to happen at the end of the show. There’s nothing thrilling about watching these young people suffer under pressure, and I think this show really pushes the limits of how much can be exciting before it turns sour and boring. Ironically, the last two episodes are the most tedious of the lot, except for the one swimming scene right at the end, of course. Yes, there are like 4 adult scenes in a single episode, and sure, it’s fun, until it’s not anymore. We’re not so superficial that we’d be okay with watching anything just because the actors are incredibly fit.
At the end of the day, though, if you’re okay dealing with half-developed plots and no actual substance with a lot of superficial stuff, then you might enjoy Olympo as a background watch. The English dub is pretty decent too, so you can follow even if you’re not entirely paying attention. I wish the plot itself were developed further, especially the stuff related to the titular “Olympo,” because it’s so shrouded by mystery that even at the end, we know essentially nothing about it. I’m not entirely sure who this show is for, but if you’re not so keen on this one, I’d say skip it entirely. I’d give Olympo 2.5 out of 5 stars, and the point 5 is for the impeccable cast.
