It will be a couple of months without Sarah Sjöström in the competition pool.
She writes that she will be away from competitions until November / December so as not to risk an overload of the elbow.
Her agent Daniel Wessfeldt talks about the decision:
- It has actually been planned.
She has settled it with her trainer, physio and doctor.
But she has no problems, she is in a fucking shape, he says to SVT Sport.
Sjöström will continue to train, but not in the same way as when competing.
ISL thus continues without the star Sarah Sjöström.
- She would probably have managed this as well, but you still want to avoid setbacks and such, says Wessfeldt.
