Fanny Matilda Charlotta Roos (born 2 January 1995) is a Swedish athlete specialising in the shot put.[1] She won a silver medal at the 2021 European Indoor Championships, while setting an outright national record of 19.29 meters in the final.[2] In doing so, Roos made history by becoming the first Swedish woman in 93 years, and the second overall, to medal in a throwing event at the Olympics, World-, or European Championships. The first to do so was Ruth Svedberg, who won a bronze medal in the discus throw at the 1928 Summer Olympics.[3]
Roos represented Sweden at the
2017 and 2019 World Championships, but failed to reach the final on both occasions. She reached 7th place at the 2020 Summer Olympics
.
Her personal bests in the event are 19.42 metres outdoors (national record - Chorzów 2022) and 19.29 metres indoors (national record - Torun 2021).[4][2]
