The time 22,84 is an improvement of nearly two tenths of a second from her previous record, which was 23,03.

The new Swedish record time also matches the best time in Europe this year.

I hope it will go fast this summer, under 22,50 is the goal. It's just a matter of continuing to work on it. On the 200, I need to work on my endurance and on the 100 on the start. So it's just a matter of continuing to work, says Henriksson to Friidrottskanalen.

The 24-year-old had her major breakthrough last year, when she broke the Swedish outdoor record by running at a time of 22,69.

My goal is to reach the World Championship final this summer. That's what I'm striving for, says Henriksson.

The runner-up in the race, Nora Lindahl, ran at a time of 23,00, also under the previous record.
