Luana Alonso, a 20-year-old Paraguayan swimmer and influencer, has announced her retirement from the sport after a disappointing season. Alonso, who has over 452,000 followers on Instagram, made the announcement on her social media accounts on Tuesday.

Alonso, who competed in the women's 100-meter freestyle at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, had been hoping to qualify for the 2024 Paris Olympics. However, she failed to meet the qualifying standards for the Paraguayan team.
