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.

DKI Jakarta dominated the swimming events at the 2026 National Aquatics Championships, ending Friday night at Stadion Akuatik GBK, Senayan. They lead the standings with 38 gold, 34 silver, and 24 bronze medals. Diving events are scheduled for next Tuesday.
