Friberg: Sjöström can take Olympic gold in the freestyle in Rio – Expressen

KAZAN. An won silver or lost gold?

You can see different about it.

But looking ahead, I am confident that Sarah Sjostrom can take an Olympic gold medal in the freestyle already in Rio.

The ceiling are over the two 50-meter pools that slapped up on a football stadium Kazan ground does not cover all the way out to one side. This morning the sun was shining into the opening from a clear blue sky.

When Sarah Sjostrom stepped out of the pool after the trial of 50-meter butterfly beamed she did not.

Sjostrom went straight past all the pressure in the mixed zone without even throwing an eye to the flock waiting journalists.

It was such a day – focus or “Leave me alone” if you will.

Sarah Sjostrom has been an unlikely floating in butterfly so she gets to rip the more in freestyle. And after more or less have gotten through the trial of 50 butterfly knew Sjostrom tonight’s task would be hard-nosed.

Two sisters were the worst resistance, Cate and Bronte Campbell, where the big sister Cate was the big favorite.

Sarah Sjostrom would likely need to perform better than ever over the distance to bring home the gold.

She did not.

But there was , despite a first disappointed gaze into the water, a joy in her eyes when she stood on the podium with his silver medal around his neck, flanked by the Australian sisters. And when Sjostrom met the press beamed she might not, but she was still happy.

Sarah Sjostrom know.

And Coach Carl Jenner know.
