Pernille Blume competed in competitive swimming at a level that the sport still measures itself against.
The record lists Pernille Blume as Danish swimmer.
Pernille Blume was born at Herlev in 1994. Her recorded nationality is Kingdom of Denmark.
Modern sport is measured to the hundredth of a second, watched globally and supported by full-time coaching, medicine and analytics.
Her clubs and national sides included Energy Standard.
She competed at swimming at the 2012 Summer Olympics – women's 50 metre freestyle, swimming at the 2012 Summer Olympics – women's 100 metre freestyle and swimming at the 2012 Summer Olympics – women's 200 metre freestyle.
Athletic careers are short and pitilessly measured, which is what makes the great ones legible.
Recognition followed: Danish Sports Hall of Fame (2025).
That the career was built from Kingdom of Denmark matters: facilities, coaching and funding are unevenly distributed, and they decide who ever reaches the start line.
Pernille Blume is still competing or recently retired, and the final placing in the sport's history is not yet settled.
