The whole Ilestedt family is gathered with the flags in full swing.

Mother Madeleine and Amanda Ilestedt's brother Sebastian admit that it is almost too hard to watch the final.

- You get tired of this, it's so uncertain, says Madeleine.

They feel frustration over the end result in the final but also pride throughout the Olympic effort.

- They should have won, because they were the best team, says Fredrik Ilestedt, father of national team player Amanda Ilestedt.

"Receive them as heroes"

But that's a small consolation right now.

Canada won the Olympic final by a landslide, and Sweden was defeated.

However, the Ilestedt family is extremely proud of Amanda and the rest of the team's efforts in the Olympics.

- They have been absolutely fantastic and we will welcome them as heroes, says Fredrik Ilestedt.
