Sarah Sjöström finished second in the 50m freestyle at Swim Open in Stockholm with the second-fastest time in the world this year. The final was disrupted by two climate activists who jumped into the pool with banners just before the start. The swimming star, returning after a 607-day break and motherhood, clocked 24.36 in the final.
