But it was close.
Sophie Hansson was only nine hundredths of the bronze medal.
30.31 is also a new personal record.
But no one in the starting line-up could do anything about Benedetta Pilato.
The Italian phenomenon set a world record the other day at 29.30 and swam in the final at 29.35.
Sophie Hansson won European Championship gold in the 100 meter breaststroke on Tuesday and is thus a medal candidate for the Olympics this summer.
50 meters breaststroke, however, is not available on the Olympic program.
Junveik set a new personal record
The other Swede in the final session, Sara Junevik, came sixth in the final in the 50 meter butterfly.
She was 55 percent behind Ranomi Kromowidjojo, the Netherlands, who took the gold.
Junevik's time 25.84 is a new personal record with 15 hundredths.
Later during the final session, both Hansson and Junevik will swim with the Swedish team in the team race 4x100 meter medley.
