In the summer, she was called to the annual elite camp in Halmstad, where Sweden's most talented soccer players gather, but she declined and chose track and field instead.

Johansson began to make a name for herself in Swedish athletics circles in 2016, just turned 15, when she won the 200 meters at the Youth Indoor Championships with a margin of 0.85 seconds and set a new personal best with a time of 24.95 seconds. [5] Later that year she participated in the F15 class in long jump at the World Youth Games held at Ullevi in ​​Gothenburg in July. In the competition, in the second round she improved her personal best from 6.05 to 6.50 centimeters, which meant eighth place among Swedish seniors of all time and that she passed the qualification limit (5.95) for participation in the youth EC by a margin. However, she was a year too young to participate. [6]  At the youth championships in August, she won as favorite 300 meters in the F16 class. [7]

In 2017, Johansson participated in both long jump and 100 meter hurdles at the European Youth Olympic Festival held in Győr, Hungary. In the long jump, she claimed a bronze with a length of 6.10 meters. [8] In her heat of the hurdles, she was so disturbed by neighboring runners that she had to redo her race but was eliminated. [9]

In 2018, Johansson participated in long jump at the U18 European Championships held in Györ in July. Here she took home the gold medal with 6.33 meters.

At the indoor WC in February 2019, Johansson won WC gold in the long jump, pentathlon, and 60 meter hurdles. At the indoor EC in Glasgow later in February, she was selected in the 60 meter hurdles, but was eliminated in the trial round. [10]  In July, she competed at the Junior EC in Borås. There she won a gold medal in the 100 meter hurdles and silver in the long jump. [11] At the Athletics World Championships in Doha in October 2019, Johansson, as a debutant, was eliminated in the qualifiers after jumping 6.48 meters twice – 6.53 would have been enough for the final place.
