By David Rieder.<\/em><\/p>\n

Lilly King<\/strong> and Yulia Efimova<\/strong> have yet to go head-to-head at the Olympics or at all this year\u2014or even at any point since the 19-year-old King began her rapid ascension to the forefront of international breaststroke.<\/p>\n

And up until the night before the swimming competition started at the Olympics, it didn\u2019t even appear the two would have a chance to race in Rio.<\/p>\n

Efimova had been ruled out of the Olympics two weeks earlier after the release of the McLaren report, which had revealed incriminating details of Russian systematic doping. Any athlete who had previously tested positive was out, and Efimova served a suspension from 2013 to 2015 after testing positive for 7-Keto-DHEA.<\/p>\n

But Efimova got back into the Games on a last minute appeals process. During the first two days of the Games, start lists have been continually edited as the seven originally-banned Russian athletes were returned to their lanes. Efimova, the second-fastest swimmer in the world in the 100 breast this year, drew heat 5, lane 6 for the event\u2019s prelims, before which\u00a0she was thoroughly booed.<\/p>\n

In each of the first two rounds of the 100 breast Sunday, Efimova posted the top time so far, and then watched King post a slightly quicker time in the next heat. King was the top seed out of prelims with a 1:05.78, just ahead of Efimova\u2019s 1:05.79. Neither swam much faster in the semifinals, with King clocking in at 1:05.70 and Efimova at 1:05.72.<\/p>\n

After her semifinal, Efimova sped through the mixed zone, stopping only to say two words: \u201cAfter finals.\u201d<\/p>\n

King, however, fulfilled all her media obligations, and by the time King reached the section where the American press had set up, she was already the talk of social media in the U.S. after NBC cameras caught King wagging her finger at the television in the ready room as she saw Efimova finish.<\/p>\n

King gave the entire backstory.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis morning, I got done with my finish, and I kind of waved my finger a little bit, number one\u2014because that\u2019s kind of how I am,\u201d King said. \u201cJust now, Yulia got done with her swim, and she starts shaking her finger. So I look at the TV, and I start shaking my finger. I got done, and I beat her time, and I started shaking my finger again.\u201d<\/p>\n

The world interpreted King\u2019s take on NBA Hall of Famer Dikembe Mutombo\u2019s<\/strong> signature gesture as calling out Efimova for her doping history. Was it?<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t mind if I am stirring it up,\u201d King said. \u201cThat\u2019s just my personality. I\u2019m not the sweet little girl\u2014that\u2019s not who I am. If I do need to stir it up to put a fire under my butt or anyone else\u2019s, that\u2019s what I\u2019m going to do.<\/p>\n

Even as she tried to skirt the issue of doping, King made abundantly clear that she\u2019s not on board with doping in swimming, and that she believes Efimova deserves to deal with the consequences of her record.<\/p>\n

“It is unfortunate that that\u2019s going on in the sport right now,\u201d she said. \u201cIt was the IOC\u2019s decision [to allow Efimova to compete], and I\u2019m going to respect that decision, even if it\u2019s something I don\u2019t agree with.\u201d<\/p>\n

Of course, with King preparing to swim the biggest race of her life tonight, she naturally hopes to avoid any distractions from the task at hand. But she sees the Efimova situation as motivating, and she knows exactly what will be coming at her in the final.<\/p>\n

In swimming almost identical times in the semis, King went out in 30.69 and came home in 35.01. Then there was Efimova, out in 31.86 and back in a ridiculous 33.86.<\/p>\n

King knows exactly what will be going on behind her in the final, but she won\u2019t concern herself with anything out of her own control.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m just going to stick to my race plan,\u201d King said. \u201cI know that I have a great last 25. Hopefully get ahead, stay ahead\u2014that\u2019s always been my tactic, so hopefully it works out.\u201d<\/p>\n

King currently ranks first in the world at 1:05.20, a half-second ahead of second-ranked Efimova (1:05.70). But Efimova seems to have something left in the tank, and defending gold medalist and world record-holder Ruta Meilutyte<\/strong> will be looming in lane six.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to go a 1:04,\u201d King said. \u201cFelt pretty good [in the semifinal], so 1:04 is definitely in the tank for tomorrow. That\u2019s what I\u2019m looking for.\u201d<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t be surprised if it takes something that fast to win gold.<\/p>\n
