STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - Sweden's Sarah Sjostrom will take part in the 100m freestyle competition at the Paris Olympics thanks to a favourable schedule that will give the 30-year-old some extra rest before her preferred 50m freestyle event.
Speaking on Saturday at the Swedish team's hotel in Eskilstuna, about 110 km (70 miles) outside Stockholm, Sjostrom told Reuters that she would make the most of the scheduling by taking on the extra event.
