This is stated by the Swedish team in a message.
The Helsingborg swimmer wants to go all out on Monday night’s final in the 100 meter butterfly, where she is chasing gold at the Foro Italico in Rome.
Hansson was already doubtful before the EC whether she would swim the 100 meter backstroke precisely because of the collision with her main distance butterfly. Louise Hansson was successful in the 100 meter backstroke in the short course World Championships last year and won gold.
Victor Johansson has also withdrawn from Monday’s trial session and opted out of the 1,500 meter freestyle. Something he was into after a tough final in the 800 meter freestyle a few days ago where he finished last.
