Sara Junevik, who took gold in the 50m butterfly, is programme-wise clear for the final on the double distance, 100m, in the European Championship in Belgrad. However, she has not yet cleared the Olympic qualification standard.

In Thursday's semi-final, Junevik finished with a time of 58.23 – a personal record. The Olympic qualification standard is 57.92 and Junevik hopes to go under that time in Friday's final.

It's getting close now. I'm saving myself for the last chance, that's probably what I need, she says to SVT.

The 50m butterfly is not an Olympic distance.
