KAZAN / STOCKHOLM. Sarah Sjostrom is planned through to the final of the 100 meters freestyle.
Sjöström won their semifinal at the time 52.78 – which was a season best for the Swedish language.
But Sjostrom was still not fully satisfied afterwards .
– I am still very slow first 50, she says to Sport Express.
After two competition days were Sarah Sjostrom in the morning back in the pool in Kazan.
On the 100 meters freestyle took Sjostrom further from the trials simple – with time 53.22.
In the semifinal of the 100 meters freestyle was Sjöström only fifth in the turnaround – but the last 50 increased Sjostrom pace considerably.
“Not at all a good location”
When she hit the tiles, she was one – but time is 52.78, which was new season best for the Swedish language. Sjöström’s personal best over the distance is 52.67.
She was not happy with the first 50 meters.
– I am still very slow the first 50. It’s not a good position to have in a World Cup final since. I am aware of, she says.
– I’m very happy with the time. I still get to swim up the final 50 in the final. Even if I go out hard, I will be after. I went full. It was right over my person – it was not worth saving. In a final, it is a little different. The hardest thing one can do is to work up to a World Cup final.
“Should be a medal”
Sarah Sjöström has broken the world record twice and won a gold in swimming World Championships in Kazan. Finals in the 100 meters freestyle is decided tomorrow.
– There should be a medal tomorrow. I will be pleased with what denomination it becomes, says Sjöström.
Australiskan Cate Campbell won the first semifinal heat in superior style at 52.84.
Michelle Coleman, who was ninth in attempts, failed to make it through to the final. And she was very disappointed afterwards.
– I’m really confused, I do not know what happened. It’s really frustrating. I was really psyched before and really looked forward to it. I have no words for what happens to me now. I’ve never been in this situation before – I’ve always performed best in the championship, Coleman said.
– It sucks that I must be one of those who missed the final. It is only to reload, but right now I’m disappointed.
