In the final they met Colombia, who won the first series with only one point, 205-204. When Sweden played on the left side things went much better and they acknowledged by winning the second series with 235-220.

An absolutely crucial series was thus waiting, and there Colombia drew the longest straw since Maria Rodriguez's decision.

- It was a snowy way to lose. Sad, because I think we're making a perfectly okay effort. Everyone has performed well and we lose because Colombia is doing slightly better. Now we are not satisfied, but it will be better in an hour or two, says the union captain Robert Andersson on the union's website.

Just Rodriguez became the championship queen for gold in All events and 5-man, silver in 3-man and master and bronze in 2-man and fifth in single.

Yesterday, Sweden won gold in doubles in the bowling World Cup, which is decided in Las Vegas.
