Lilly King’s answer to Kate Douglass breaking her 200 breast record was to spawn a 50 freestyler
Upon Dean’s retirement the natural order of the universe was thrown off and chaos ensued.
alright who opened the multiverse
The multiverse is real
Scary thought there’s a timeline where Lilly king is a 50 freestyler and wins gold there in 2016
That’s Lilly King. This is Lily King.
We’re living in strange times Braden – that a parallel universe has collapsed into ours where Lilly is now a 15 year old freestyler seems more plausible than what you posit.
I think at one point Russia had two different Daria Ustinovas on the same international squad, so why can’t the USA have multiple Lily Kings?
They still do. But they used to, too.
plus there is another breaststroke swimmer called (j)efimova, but i think she’s estonian
and who could forget tess howley, townley haas alter ego
They both have the same Russian surname (Ефимова) and they both are ethnic Russians.
But look how many Smith we can see in one race at highest international meets. And nobody cares about that.
not to be confused with the famous rapper Lil’ Icking
Yeah, we all confused them. Until you enlightened us. Thank you sir.
One L but she wags 2 fingers
Omg the second coming
If you click on “Lily king’s” name it shows “Lilly king”
