Six medals, four of which were gold, were enough for a fifth place in the medal league for Sweden.

It was won by the home nation Italy, who took a whopping 35 medals.

Aronsson is satisfied with the decision to select a total of 24 swimmers for the championship in Rome.

- It's worth it.

It is two years before the Olympics and one year before the long-track WC.

I think the experience they bring back to Swedish swimming is enormous.

Sarah Sjöström won three European Championship golds, the last one today on her birthday.

Now rest awaits and then investment towards further championships.

- She will take a nice break now and get to breathe after this long summer.

Then we hope it will be Melbourne (cross track WC), Japan (long track WC 2023) and Paris (Olympic 2024), says Aronsson.

The national team captain emphasizes her importance to the other swimmers in the national team.

- Imagine getting to swim team with Sjöström and also for the boys to get to swim mixed.

She is so humble and so involved in the squad.

She means a lot.
