She earned a silver medal in the women\u2019s 400 free, her time of 4:53.9 second to the Olympic record set by American <strong>Chris von Saltza<\/strong> (4:50.6). Cederqvist\u2019s time was quicker than that of Australian <strong>Lorraine Crapp<\/strong> in winning gold four years earlier in Melbourne. Van Saltza held the world record in the 400 free entering Rome.<\/p>\n<p>Cederqvist\u2019s misfortune was specializing in events that wouldn\u2019t be added to the Olympic docket until after her career ended. Just after the Olympics, she became the first woman to break 10 minutes in the 800-meter freestyle, clocking in at 9:55.6 in a meet in Uppsala in August. That cut 16 seconds off the world record of Australian <strong>Ilsa Konrads.<\/strong> The record held for two years until American <strong>Carolyn House<\/strong> took it.<\/p>\n<p>In September of 1960, again in Uppsala, Cederqvist downed Konrads\u2019 world record in the 1,500 free, going 19:23.6. Her record would hold for less than a year, taken by countrywoman <strong>Margareta Ryland<\/strong> the next summer. (The 800 free was added to the Olympics for women in 1968, the 1,500\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/olympics-fittingly-katie-ledecky-powers-to-gold-in-inaugural-womens-1500-freestyle\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">arrival delayed until 2021.<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>Cederqvist\u2019s record-setting year sparked \u201cJane fever\u201d in Sweden, greatly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.svt.se\/sport\/simning\/jane-cederqvist-har-gatt-bort\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">increasing the profile of swimming in the country<\/a>. She was aided by the 1960 Olympics being one of the first to be widely televised and is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dn.se\/sport\/simlegendaren-jane-cederqvist-ar-dod\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said to have inspired the construction<\/a> of Stockholm\u2019s first 50-meter pool. Among those inspired was a young <strong>Gunnar Larsson<\/strong>, who would win <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ishof.org\/honoree\/honoree-gunnar-larsson\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">two gold medals in Munich<\/a> in 1972. Larsson\u2019s older sisters, <strong>Karin Larsson<\/strong> and <strong>Kristina Larsson,<\/strong> were teammates of Cederqvist in the 1960 Olympics.<\/p>\n<p>Cederqvist, who swam for the Stochkolmsklubben Neptun club, was the first woman to receive the Svenska Dagbladet Gold Medal, <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Svenska_Dagbladet_Gold_Medal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">or the Bragdguldet<\/a>, awarded by a Swedish newspaper annually since 1925 to the nation&#8217;s top athlete. She remains the youngest to win that award.<\/p>\n<p>Cederqvist\u2019s career was short. She retired in 1961 while still in her teens and completed a Ph.D. in history.
