Biography

[edit]

Östlund's first appearance at the senior Swedish Athletics Championships was in 2008, where she finished 7th in the 100 m with a time of 12.12.[1]

Her first international championship final was in 2013, when she finished 6th in the 4 × 100 m at the 2013 European Athletics U23 Championships.[1]

In 2017, Östlund made her Diamond League debut at the Stockholm Diamond League meeting.[2] She finished 8th in the 200 m with a time of 23.82 seconds.[1] Her first two national titles also came that year, both indoors (in the 60 m) and outdoors (in the 200 m).[1]

Östlund then had an achilles tendon injury, which healed by her 2020 season opener.[3] Later that year, she set personal bests at 60 metres and 200 metres indoors.[1]

Östlund trains with the KFUM Örebro club in Örebro, Sweden.[1]
