U.S. swimmers Lilly King and Annie Lazor won silver and bronze, respectively, in the women's 200-meter breaststroke final on Day 7 of the Tokyo Olympics. It marked the seventh time in this year's Olympics that two U.S. swimmers participated in a medal ceremony.
After winning the event, King—who posted a time of 2:19.92—expressed her feelings on some Americans' tendency to regard silver and bronze medals as failures.
"Pardon my French, but the fact that we're not able to celebrate silver and bronze is bullshit," the 24-year-old said.
King, a veteran of Team USA as a two-time Olympic gold medalist in Rio in 2016, won bronze in the women's 100-meter breaststroke earlier this week.
