Sweden has suffered a setback before the end of the short track World Cup in Melbourne.

Sophie Hansson is forced to withdraw from the rest of the championship due to illness.

Not least, it will be a blast for the ladies in the team coats.

"Weakening for the medley team"

- A weakening for the medley team, especially in the 4x100.

We still have good breaststrokers in the team, Klara Thormalm and Emelie Fast who can go in and do well for Sweden, says SVT Sports commentator Niklas Nord.

Since before, Victor Johansson has been ill and has not yet been able to start in the championship.

On Friday, Sophie's older sister Louise Hansson will swim the finals in the 50 meter backstroke and 100 meter medley.

Erik Persson came fifth in the final in the 200 meter breaststroke.
