In addition to a victory in the first match against the Czech Republic, Team Hasselborg's start at the European Curling Championships in Lillehammer has been difficult.

Before this morning's match, they came from two straight losses against Russia and Scotland.

But during this morning's match against Italy, team Hasselborg was the sharper team and took home the victory.

In the fourth round, Sweden took a three-pointer and then led 4-2.

Italy then picked up to 4-3, but in round eight, Sweden increased to 5-3 which was the final result of the match.

Now Switzerland is waiting for the ladies.

The match will be played this afternoon at 16.00 and will be broadcast on SVT.

Team Hasselborg is the reigning European Champion when they took home the gold medal in Helsingborg 2019.
