- Murphy, Smith, Douglass and King all shine at US trials
- King’s boyfriend proposes on pool deck following race
Katie Douglass won the 200m breaststroke final at the US Olympic trials in Indianapolis on Thursday but second place finisher Lilly King got the ring when her boyfriend proposed on the pool deck immediately after the race.
Douglass, winner of the women’s 100m freestyle on Wednesday, added the 200m breaststroke to her Paris program, getting to wall first in two minutes, 19.46 seconds at Lucas Oil Stadium, more than two seconds clear of King.
