The Swedish rower Ebba Einarsson misses the final on 2,000 meters single sculls in the Paralympic Games in Paris. Einarsson finished fourth in her repechage heat with a time of 11:33.21, and it was required to be top two to advance to Sunday's A-final.
It's a huge adventure. It's big for us to just be here. To be out on the starting line is indescribable, says Einarsson to SVT.
The Swede admits that she felt pressure from outside before Saturday's race.
The last 24 hours have been tough for me. There have been a lot of thoughts on land. My head caught up. But when I was out on the water, it felt like it was just me, the boat, and my heart on the starting line, she says.
Einarsson, who is making her debut in the Paralympic Games in Paris, will now compete in the B-final on Sunday.
