At the Swedish Championships in Norrköping, a new personal record was set in the 50m butterfly. A great race to include in the campaign toward the World Championships in Singapore!

It is you sponsors who give me the opportunity to pursue swimming! Thank you for that!

The 100m freestyle in the final leg of the 4×100 medley at the Short Course World Championships in Budapest, December 2024, was powerful. The time of 51.35 provides motivation for the upcoming season.

Falu swimming club had a courtship after the Olympics in Paris. There was a large turnout with both young and old, which was honourable. It’s fun to meet those who are active in the Falu swimming club and be able to give back by taking part in training and being able to answer questions that the younger ones have.

EC bronze in the 100 butterfly, but not Olympic qualification

In the 100 butterfly at the European Championships, there was another medal, a bronze and a new personal best, but unfortunately there are 14/100ths missing from the Olympic qualifying time. The dream of an individual start in the Olympics lives on in 2028! New personal best is 58:06.

At the top of the podium and the national anthem was a powerful feeling when the EC long track was decided in Belgrade on June 19.

Sara is tagged for the EC, where there will be an individual start in the 50 butterfly and 100 butterfly, but then it will be fun with team caps. SVT broadcasts semi and final sessions in the evenings from 18:30 every evening.

Sara trains at high altitude as part of a bid to qualify for the Olympics in the 100 butterfly. Good feeling! Have also been able to enjoy some skiing in the lovely environment.

Report in Dagens Nyheter (2024-01-18) that Sara Junevik chooses to forego the WC to instead train at high altitude and focus on qualifying in the 100 butterfly for the Olympics in Paris 2024.

The successes in 2023 have made Sara even more excited for 2024! Starts the 2024 season with training camp in Stellenbosch in South Africa. Happy New Year!
