Team USA swimmer Lilly King qualified for her second event at the Paris Olympics and got engaged to longtime boyfriend, James Wells.
King, a two-time Olympian, finished the 200-meter breaststroke behind Kate Douglass and just a few strokes ahead of Gretchen Walsh. When she left the pool, she was greeted by Wells who told her that spending the last four years as her boyfriend had been an honor before getting on bended knee and asking her to marry him.
King will become the first U.S. swimmer to race the 100- and 200-meter breaststroke at three straight Olympics. "I'm going to do me, and what I love about the NBCUniversal team is that they really want for Snoop Dogg to bring what he brings; stay within the realm of professionalism but to bring Snoop Dogg to the Olympics and I love that," Snoop said."I'm going to do my best to make sure that I look the part and play the part.
