– We had control sometimes and sometimes definitely not. We managed to figure out how to play and it showed on the scoreboard, says Anna Hasselborg in the SVT Sports broadcast.
Sweden had a tough match and after a miss in the last stone in the seventh round they were down 3-5, got up to 5-5 to be down 5-6 before the last round. There, Sweden had three stones in the nest when Norway put its last stone too short and Sweden didn’t even have to hit its last stone – when they were 3-0 in the round and could win 8-6.
