See Niklas Edin’s perfect stone in the final round in the clip at the top of the article.
– They came back several times and I played so badly today and tried to pull myself together at the end to get some points. We managed to get some points out of nothing and the team as a whole played very well, says Edin in SVT’s broadcast.
– We should have won earlier. It is super important to have started with five wins. We try to win every game and know that in the semi-finals it is important to have the last stone, says Edin, who again had problems reading the difficult ice.
Edin placed his last stone perfectly into the nest which was well protected. Norway, which had the last stone, was unable to solve the task and Sweden won the round 2-0.
– It was enough to make it so difficult for Norway, says expert Eva Lund.
Norway tied the knot in the eighth round
In the eighth round, Norwegian skipper Magnus Ramsfjell hit a hard last stone that split the nest and took two points to go up 8-6.
Sweden managed to fix a zero in the ninth round and made sure to get the last stone in the tenth. This was thus a better outcome than winning the ninth round 1-0, which could have been done.
The tactic worked perfectly and in his last stone in the tenth round, Edin, from a difficult position, scored two points for Sweden and arranged a tie-breaker. This after touching the protective Norwegian guard
– It is so beautiful. Do you understand how difficult this is? so nice, exults expert Eva Lund about Edin’s masterful stroke.
