Career edit

Lindfors started competing in throws as early as 2014, and she finished 4th at the 2015 Swedish U16 Championships in the discus.[4] After improving that to 2nd at the 2016 U17 Championships, she achieved her first national win at the U18 Team Championships with a 37.85 m throw representing Upsala IF.[5]

Lindfors' first international win came at the 2017 U18 Finnkampen, throwing a 47.32 m personal best for the victory.[6] The following year she improved that best to 51.26 m at the Bottnarydskastet, qualifying her for the 2018 World U20 Championships. In the qualification, Lindfors placed 18th overall and did not advance to the finals.[7] She nonetheless returned to win Swedish U20 championships and the U20 Nordic Athletics Championships later that year.[8]

Lindford competed at the 2019 European Athletics U20 Championships in both the shot put and discus throw, though she only made the finals in the discus where she placed 4th overall.[9] She first set the Swedish U20 record in the discus at the 2019 Nordic Match, and she improved that record again to 55.98 m finishing second at the 2019 Swedish Athletics Championships.[10][11][12]

From 2021 to 2023, Lindfors moved to the United States and competed on the Florida State Seminoles track and field team in the NCAA.[13] She quickly qualified for the 2021 NCAA Division I Outdoor Track and Field Championships, placing 18th overall.[14] After her freshman outdoor season, she finished 4th at the European U23 Championships in the discus throw, again just missing out on a medal.[15]

In 2023, Lindfors finished 4th at the NCAA Division I Outdoor Track and Field Championships, the best finish of her collegiate career.[16] She won the Swedish Athletics Championships national discus title in a 60.90 m personal best, qualifying her for the 2023 World Athletics Championships. At the championships, she finished 32nd in qualification and did not make the finals.[17] Beginning in 2024, Lindfords transferred to the California Golden Bears track and field program.[18]
