Sarah Fredrika Sjöström (born 17 August 1993 in Salem, Stockholm County) is a Swedish swimmer. On 22 March 2008, at the age of 14, she took the gold medal in women's 100 m butterfly at the 2008 European Aquatics Championships in Eindhoven, Netherlands.[1][2] She was clocked for 58.44 seconds. In the semi-finals the day before, she set a new national record with 58.38 seconds, breaking Anna-Karin Kammerling's old one (58.71 seconds). At the Swedish championships in 2008 she swam at 58.55.

On 26 July 2009 at the 2009 World Aquatics Championships Sarah Sjöström set a world record in the semifinals with a time of 56.44, surpassing Inge de Bruijn's nine year old record. On the next day, in the finals for the women's 100 m butterfly, she won the gold medal and improved her world record time to 56.06.[3][4]

At the 2010 European Aquatics Championships in Budapest, Hungary, she defended her 2008 gold medal by winning the women's 100 m butterfly stroke.[5] (The European Aquatics Championships is a biennial event and hence did not take place in 2009.)
