This means that Felicia Klintemar is ready for tonight's semi-final in Paris.

Both Swedes came in with a time of 58.83 in the heats and were seeded as first reserves, but the problem was that there was only one place available in the event of a withdrawal.

Once Seemanová was withdrawn, the Swedes were set to make up for it in a rematch, but Junevik chose to focus on Friday's 50-metre freestyle attempt instead. Junevik took the European Championship bronze in the 50-metre butterfly on Wednesday evening.

Louise Hansson advanced to the 100-metre butterfly with the fifth-fastest time of 57.67.

Sarah Sjöström won the European Championship gold in the 50-metre butterfly in her comeback after giving birth. The star's second and final event is the 50-metre freestyle.

Belgian Roos Vanotterdijk, who took silver in the 50-metre butterfly, was fastest in the heats over the double distance in 56.76.

Robin Hansson is through to the semifinals in the 200-metre freestyle. He swam the heats in 1:46.84 and had the 13th-best time of those who advanced.
