In the trials, Axel Gladher swam his second fastest race ever in a time of 28.81.
When the semi-finals got underway later in the evening, the Karlskronasi swimmer got off to a bad start as he slipped at the start, after that he never really caught up and missed the final.
Now further chances await as he competes in both the 100 and 200 meter breaststroke later this week.
This is what it sounded like when SVT Nyheter Blekinge met Axel Gladher earlier this spring.
