King Carl Gustag and queen Silvia came directly from the flight to celebrate double Olympic gold medalist Sarah Sjöström, video from the King's speech.
The King offered an epic speech - which brought down cheers.
- As you may have noticed, the Queen and I are coming here directly from the flight, of course, to be part of an event like this. You have done hard work for a long time and have been at it for many, many years. Being able to hold out for this long and still be the world's best at this. Now we have two Queens here on the podium. Then you get to choose who you prefer the most. But one thing I do know is that we will give a real fourfold hurrah for Sarah.
The King asked Sarah:
- You were lucky to swim in real water anyway. How did the others who got to swim in the Seine fare?
Sarah Sjöström was happy about the attention from the King and Queen.
- It was a wonderful speech. I heard that there were many who laughed heartily and appreciated his words.
What is it like to be called Queen by the king?
- What a great honor.
In the evening, the royal couple will go to see Armand Duplantis go for the Olympic gold in the pole vault.

The King admitted to Expressen that he missed Sjöström's 50-meter race, they were on their way.
Queen Silvia also paid tribute to other Swedish achievements, although she also considers Sjöström to be the best.
- It is wonderful, fantastic. Sweden has been good and won several medals. But the gold yesterday was fantastic. And silver, in table tennis, you shouldn't forget that, was good.
Now the focus is on Armand Duplantis. The King said:
- We're crossing our fingers, it would be a shame if he does NOT succeed. The Olympics are different from regular championships. Great deeds can happen. We'll all have to keep our fingers crossed. It's about millimeters.
The King is known to shout loudly and get caught up in the excitement of the competition, but promises to keep calm in the arena and says he probably shouldn't shout. Afterwards maybe.
