19-year-old US swimmer Lilly King sent a strong message Monday, beating Russian swimmer Yuliya Yefimova in the 100-meter breast stroke to take home the gold medal.
King had set up a rivalry Sunday night when she took offense to Yefimova declaring herself No. 1 after winning a qualifying heat for the 100-meter breakstroke.
