Swimming-Douglass gets the win, King gets the ring at US Olympic trials


(Reuters) - Katie Douglass won the 200m breaststroke final at the U.S. 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.
