American Lilly King was one of many swimmers -- including Lithuania's Ruta Meilutyte and Zimbabwe's Kirsty Coventry -- who was not happy with the court's decision allowing Russian athletes to compete. As the athletes stepped into Maracanã Stadium, rocking bowties and blazers with white piping, they were met with a smattering of boos among the applause. 'I'm just not a fan'Efimova, another of seven Russian swimmers to be banned but reinstated just in time for the Rio Games , also heard boos when she won her heat in the women's 100-meter breaststroke. "There are athletes from many teams who have served sanctions and are able to compete." Some wore Russian flags around their necks like capes, while others blew kisses to the cameras.
