"I am of course very disappointed. But I am also happy that I am back for real," Salming tells Expressen.
To qualify for the European Championships, Salming would first have had to surpass the Swedish nomination limit of 6,094 points, and ideally the direct qualification limit of 6,320 points. But her final score was far short of that.
I had hopes on the first day, but it wasn't quite enough all the way through, she says.
Both last season and this season's indoor season have been marked by injury concerns, which has meant that Bianca has only competed sparingly.
At the Swedish Championships, she was beaten by Elsa Wållgren, who finished seven points ahead of Salming.
