She competed at the 1994 European Athletics Championships in her native Finland, but finished last.[1] She never became Finnish champion, but won the Finnish indoor championships in 1997.[2]
In 1998 she became a Norwegian citizen, and competed at the 1998 European Championships, again without reaching the final.[3] She became Norwegian champion in 1998, 1999 and 2000 before she retired. She represented the club Stjørdal FIK.[4]
Her personal best throw was 17.49 metres, achieved in 1996.[5] When becoming Norwegian, she immediately set a Norwegian indoor record with 17.25 metres in Stange. The Norwegian outdoor record was 99 centimetres shorter, and when the outdoor season approached, Sederholm set three Norwegian records in a Bislett stadion meet in May 1998: 16.62—16.73—17.00 metres. She improved further to 17.09 metres in June 1998 in Lidingö and 17.11 metres in July 1998 in Hämeenkyrö.[6] The outdoor and indoor records still stand.
