Hanna Rosvall, Sophie Hansson, Sara Junevik and Louise Hansson knew they had a chance at the medals if everything went right. They did. The quartet leaves the Short Course European Championships with a silver in the 4 x 50 meter team event.

So damn fun. I'm a little speechless. It's really so much fun. I'm a little moved, says Sophie Hansson in an interview with SVT shortly after the race.

What a team effort we are jumping in and making. To finish this way, this championship, she says.

Sara Junevik had a tough championship, but finished it in style. Her strong performance in butterfly contributed greatly to her silver medal success.

It was such an extremely sad start to everything, I was hoping for so much more. It's so fun to get into the team, to be healthy and show that the form is really there, she says. To take a silver... it was good in the end, she tells SVT.

Junevik swam her distance in a fine 24.52 seconds.

The medal was Sweden's second in the championship in Lublin. Louise Hansson won bronze in the 100-meter butterfly on Friday.
