Sarah Sjöström meddelar comeback vid Stockholm Swim Open

nu har Sarah Sjöström, 32, inte tävlat sedan den 12 augusti 2024. Simmaren är nu redo för en comeback, enligt rapporter från större medier. Hon kommer att tävla i Swim Open i Stockholm i april, specifikt genom att simma 50 meter frisim den 11 april.

På det datumet kommer det att ha gått 607 dagar sedan hennes senaste tävling. Tävlingarna hålls på Eriksdalsbadet. Sarah Sjöström födde sin son Adrian i slutet av augusti 2025.

It would have been embarrassing if she was superior.

Said about facing Sarah Sjöström at the Swim Open.

Det exakta datumet för Adrians födelse i augusti 2025 är inte specificerat, och anledningen till hennes paus sedan augusti 2024 förblir oklar. Det är också okänt om hon kommer att tävla i några andra grenar vid Swim Open förutom 50 meter frisim. Evenemanget markerar en betydande återkomst för atleten efter en paus som inkluderade moderskap.
