Jamina Roberts has a hard time remembering the last time Sweden was this good.

- I do not know ... But that was a while ago ?.

When they played equal against Brazil, we felt "damn, now they will take revenge, but we are prepared and believe in what we do", she says.

Roberts and Carin Strömberg were Sweden's sharpest attacking weapons and accounted for seven and eight goals respectively in the match.

- My second half was good, first I was not really with, just like against Spain.

I warmed up then, Carin takes first and I second, she says.

After just over six minutes, the score was still 1-1.

Looked shaken out

Blue-yellow started with the same starting seven as in the premiere against Spain with 31-24.

And they drummed on at the same high pace. Federal captain Tomas Axnér has forced the team to do a lot of fitness training before leaving for Japan, which pays off in the form of an offensive counterattack. Karin Strömberg showed no pardon in the middle.

Experienced Linn Blohm again made an achievement on the line.

Sometimes, however, the Swedes had a hard time.

Seven minutes between goals went in a period of first.

Left-winger Elin Hansson, who became Sweden's best goal scorer against Spain, had problems.

She scored her first goal early in the second half.

But a big player Johanna Bundsen in the goal made sure that Sweden kept a lead with around four balls.

"Can't get hubris - then you go out"

Before the Tokyo Olympics, Sweden had won three of five matches against Russia outside the championship.

In the WC, EC and Olympics, however, the reality is different and the Swedes have three losses in four matches since Rio 2016.

Russia has been banned from international sports such as Olympic and World Cup tournaments for two years due to doping offenses.

However, Russian athletes may stand as neutral active members.

Therefore, the squad must be called the team of the Russian Committee, or the Russian team.

Therefore, there was also no national anthem in the Yoyogi Hall in Tokyo.

The Russians had to make do with the Olympic anthem.

For Sweden, an even stronger opponent in the form of France awaits next on paper.

It remains to be seen what can be achieved then.

Jamina Roberts does not want to float too far.

- No, we can not start getting hubris now.

It's not possible, then you go out.
