Sweden won three medals in the European Swimming Championships. But with a huge squad of 26 swimmers, the goal was to make 14-15 finals. We got seven. I am incredibly happy. Coming away with three medals, seven finals and seven Swedish records is worth celebrating, says national team captain Martina Aronsson.
SportsOn the last day of the European Championships, Victor Johansson was on top. He made it to the final in the 400-meter freestyle with the fifth-best time. "With the week I've had, it's nice to get out of the hole," says Johansson.
SportsSweden's mixed 4x100-meter freestyle team was only eight tenths off the Swedish record in the final of the European Swimming Championships. They finished seventh. It was great fun, I'm really happy, says debutant Ludvig Bartolek, the 17-year-old who is the youngest in Sweden's European Swimming Championships squad.
SportsIt was the sixth time Sweden made it into the team event at the European Swimming Championships. After five missed finals in Paris, the mixed 4x100-meter team made it through on its sixth attempt.
SportsSarah Sjöström easily advanced to the semifinals of the 50-meter freestyle at the European Swimming Championships in Paris. The 32-year-old had the second-fastest time at 24.21. It felt good, I think I will improve with each race, says the Swedish gold favorite.
SportsThe heat wave in Paris took its toll on Louise Hansson. The tears came after she was eliminated in the semifinals of the 100-meter butterfly. I feel shaky all over, I'm probably a little dehydrated, she says.
SportsHidden star Felicia Klintemark, 20, made it to the semifinals of the 100-meter butterfly at the European Swimming Championships after a dramatic turn. This came after European bronze medalist Sara Junevik opted out of a swim-off. Medalist Louise Hansson advanced in fifth place.
SportsSara Junevik, 26, could not defend her European Championship gold from 2024 in the 50-meter butterfly. But the bronze two years later weighs more heavily. This one will probably come out on top, Junevik says after the final where Sarah Sjöström took gold.
