It was her first meet because the Paris Olympics in 2024 – the place she received the 50/100 free double – ending second within the 50 free in 24.36, 0.02 off winner Siobhan Haughey.

It earned her a spot on the group for the Europeans on the Olympic Aquatics Centre, Saint-Denis in August the place she’ll tackle the 50 free and fly.

Sjöström is probably the most adorned swimmer within the historical past of the European Championships with 28 medals since her first look at Eindhoven 2008 the place the 14-year-old received the 100 fly.
