Team Edin are winners, and had four World Cup golds and six European Championship golds before the final against Switzerland in Helsingborg. And there they showed samples of their routine, sweeping away Switzerland's gold dreams. But the Swedish team got some help from the opposition. For in the sixth round, at the score 3-1, the guests made themselves so strong that Niklas Edin could not stay.
"They're playing so bad right now, it feels like we're going to go now," Niklas Edin said before his closing stones.
The comments were something that was appreciated by the Swedish audience, who could not hold themselves to laughter. The Swiss had opened up for a Swedish jerk, and the experienced Niklas Edin made no mistake when he secured three points for Sweden.
- It's just to count yourself, they won't catch up and pass Sweden. Unless Sweden starts playing with blindfolds in these four rounds, SVT Sports expert Eva Lund said after 6-1.
Although Switzerland took two straight single points after that, it never got exciting. And when team Edin brought in another three points in the ninth, the match was over, and the gold secured.
