Veera Kauppi was named the championship's most valuable player and took home the shooting league with 15 hits.

But despite double goals in the final and bids for more, it was only a silver medal for the 24-year-old.

- I think we are doing a damn good fight, we are doing exactly what we are supposed to.

We play better and better all the time and I think we have some situations in the end but now it turned out like this, she says after the final loss.

Finland equalized to 3-3 in the final period, after a pick-up started by Kauppi, and the match went into extra time.

- We had a superb feeling.

We knew we had caught up and knew we could win.

It was so close today, she says.

In the long run, Kauppi had a chance to decide in an almost open box but burned the golden position.

Instead, Emelie Wibron shot the gold to Sweden.

- I feel so sorry for the girls, they did very well today, Kauppi concludes.
