Sweden is chasing its fourth straight World Cup gold in bandy.

And the blue-yellow stars have started very strong.

The world championships in Växjö / Åby began with driving over Finland and Norway.

On Friday, they followed it up by beating the United States 3-0.

Lidköping talent Tilda Ström - named the country's best player last year - opened the scoring after just over a quarter of an hour.

Sisters Ida and Moa Friman followed up with their respective goals and the final result was 3-0.

Sweden is now ready for the semifinals.

Who is responsible for the opposition there is not yet clear.
