Sailing career
2020 Olympics with Bergström
Lovisa Karlsson, together with Olivia Bergström, qualified to represent Sweden in the 2020 Tokyo Summer Olympics, competing in the women's 470 event and ranking 14th.
Mixed 470 with Dahlberg (since 2022)
After the 2020 Summer Olympics and the end of the women's 470 event in the Olympics, Karlsson teamed up with Anton Dahlberg, silver medalist in the men's event in the same Olympics, to campaign for the 2024 Summer Olympics. They made their first regatta together in the 2022 Semaine Olympique Française in Hyères, which they won.
In September 2022, Dahlberg and Karlsson won the 470 European Championships in Çeşme, Turkey. At the 2022 470 World Championship in Sdot Yam a month later, they finished 13th and therefore not qualified for the medal race.
Dahlberg and Karlsson successfully defended their 470 European Championships title in May 2023 in Sanremo, one point ahead of German crew Anna Markfort and Simon Diesch.
