A strong qualification was followed by a slightly worse final at the European Championship in athletics in Rome.

In Sollentuna, Fanny Roos got her revenge.

It felt like I got off to a good start and then I had the momentum at the end… It felt good, she says to SVT.

The shot putter won the GP competition with a throw of 18.93 metres, ahead of German Alina Kenzel and María Belén Toimil from Spain.

A throw of the same distance at the Olympic Stadium would have given her a European Championship gold. Roos finished sixth in Italy with 18.26.

I can't think like that, I have to look ahead, do well in competitions and prepare for the Olympics and do well there.

Sara Lennman, eighth in the European Championship final with 18.16, finished fourth in the GP competition with 17.94.

The Olympics in Paris will take place from 26 July to 11 August.
