At the 2023 Stockholm Swim Open in April, Sjöström won the long course 50 metre freestyle with the fastest time in the world for the 2023 year by a female at that point in the time, a 2023 World Aquatics Championships qualifying time of 23.92 seconds.[174][175]

At the 2023 World Aquatics Championships, Sjöström won the long course 50 metre freestyle, breaking her own world record in the semifinal. In doing so, she set the record for the longest period of time in between world-record setting performances by an individual swimmer, 14 years and 3 days after first breaking the 100 metre butterfly world record in 2009.[176] She also won the 50 metre butterfly for the fifth time in a row at the World Aquatic Championships. These two medals led her to tie and then overtake Michael Phelps as the swimmer with the most individual World Aquatic Championship medals at 21 in her career.[177] She additionally performed on Sweden's 400 metre freestyle and 400 metre medley relays; notably, her lead-off split of 52.24 in finals for the freestyle relay would have earned her a silver medal in the 100 metre freestyle.[178]

edit

At the 2024 World Aquatics Championships in Doha, Sjöström won the long course 50 metre freestyle as well as the 50 metre butterfly. The latter for a sixth time in a row at the World Aquatic Championships.[179]

2024 Olympic Games

edit

Sjöström, now focusing on the shortest distances, had only planned to swim 50 metre freestyle at the Olympics. However, she decided to join 100 m freestyle as it suited her schedule between the 4×100m freestyle relay and the 50 metre freestyle.[180] She first raced in the heats and the final of the 4x100m freestyle relay, where the Swedish team finished 5th in the final setting a new national record.[181] She then went on to win the gold in 100 metre freestyle on 31 July with a time of 52.16 seconds. Despite being the World Record holder, Sjostrom had never won a gold medal in this distance at the global level.[182] On the last day of competition she won another gold medal in the 50 metre freestyle, with a time of 23.71 seconds.[183] She closed her Olympic Games with a 7th place finish in the 4x100m medley relay alongside her Swedish teammates.
