The team had just found its best game but it ran out just before the goal line.
- For myself, this was my best day, it took a long time to find my way into the game.
We had a momentum going and if we had made it to the semi-finals, I think it would have gone very well, says Hasselborg.
In addition to their own match, Sweden was dependent on the result in several other matches, where in the end it was about Norway and Denmark needing to win.
At 5-5 in the eighth round, Hasselborg knocked away the yellow Turkish stone and went up 8-5 after taking three points.
At the same time, Norway took a point against Scotland and advanced 6-4.
- What a drama, but it's going Sweden's way.
What if Sweden could get out of this?
said SVT's commentator Niklas Nord with his eyes on the sidelines.
The expert: "Where did it come from?"
A few minutes later, Denmark went 7-3 against Germany, a must-win for Sweden, who had to rely on their Nordic neighbour.
Denmark helped Sweden win 12-3.
But in the ninth round of Norway-Scotland, the Scots took three points and went ahead 7-6.
- Two fantastic stones from Scotland, wow.
A third, where did it come from?
expert Eva Lund asked herself in astonishment.
Scotland went on to win 8-6.
Hasselborg won bronze at the Olympics last winter, this after a gold in 2018. In the EC, they were chasing their third gold after the titles in 2018 and 2019.
