Just over half an hour after the medley final, Louise Hansson swam the semi-final of the 100 meter butterfly, a semi-final which she won comfortably in a time of 55.78.
This without impressing, as every turn and finish line was weak.
- She doesn't quite get the timing right in the turns, noted Lars Frölander.
- There is about a tenth that disappears at every turn.
"Shit, where was the wall!"
Hansson himself agreed.
- I don't really know what happened, especially at the finish line... My God!
It was like "Shit, was the wall there?!"
It was like a dinosaur finish line, she said with a laugh to SVT Sport.
"Great feeling!"
However, she is hopeful for tomorrow's final.
- The details weren't there, so there are definitely things to improve.
But it's a great feeling!
The butterfly is right, I'm in shape.
It was tight here between the team and the semi.
So it was just to go in and charge, there was a lot going on and I'm satisfied to be able to go in and complete the race in 55.7, she says, and continues:
- The details were absolutely not there, so these are very easy fixes, so it should be able to go much faster.
