A picture of a pregnant Sjostrom, shot by Magnus Ragnvid, will be permanently hung in the Gripsholm Castle. Sjostrom wears a blue dress, made by Swedish designer Lars Wallin, against a backdrop of water.

At 32 years of age, Sjostrom is Sweden’s most successful swimmer in history. As previously mentioned, Sjostrom has 20 world titles to her name. She also has six Olympic medals (three of them gold) and 29 European Championship titles in her collection. The sprint titan has broken a plethora of world records in both butterfly and freestyle events. Most notably among them is her famed 24.43 LC 50 fly world record from 2014, which for many years was the most dominant swimming world record in the books.
Her dominance spans across three decades, from breaking her first world record in the 100 fly at 15 years of age in 2009, to a surprise double gold outing in the sprint freestyle events at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Sjostrom’s accomplishments are well recognized in the Swedish sports world; she’s won the Scandinavian country’s Athlete of the Year Award seven times, the most of any athlete.
With the Portrait of Honour, Sjostrom joins the ranks of accomplished Swedes in a variety of areas. Past recipients include pop producer superstar Max Martin, ABBA’s Benny Andersson, and film producer Ingmar Bergman.
Sjostrom has temporarily taken a step back from swimming after the Paris Olympics. In that time, she and partner Johan de Jong Skierus have welcomed their first child, Adrian. Sjostrom is pregnant with Adrian in her portrait. She has asserted several times that she intends to return to competition and swim at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.
