Following the women, the men also crown themselves European champions in the final against Switzerland.
Sweden’s curlers have succeeded defending champion Germany and won the European crown for the 13th time. The team around Skip Niklas Edin defeated Switzerland on Saturday in the final of Lohja/Finland with 5:4 after extra end and triumphed for the first time since 2019. Only Scotland (16), which prevailed in the small final against Italy (9:3), has more gold medals than Sweden.
The Swedes barely qualified for the knockout stage as fourth in the group stage. In the semi-finals, the Edin team surprisingly eliminated tournament favorite and record European champion Scotland, who had remained undefeated until then. After the women’s victory in the morning, the success rounded off a perfect final day from a Swedish perspective.
