Sarah Sjöström has begun her hunt for new WC medals.
She struck with a super time in this morning’s trials.
– It was probably my fastest trial swim ever, says Sjöström in SVT.
24.88 was the fastest of all in the 50 meter butterfly trials and only she herself has previously swum faster.
– It was just a good race. I got good flow and a good input. It’s especially nice to show that I’m at my best in 50 meters when I come in fresh and haven’t swum a lot of races before, says Sarah Sjostrom.
