The 36-year-old from Stockholm already has medals of all three denominations. If things go as she wants, thinks and hopes, she will win her second gold in the final against Switzerland on the last day of the Games.
When the team skipped by Margaretha Sigfridsson won silver in Sochi 2014, Agnes Knochenhauer was not allowed to play, but her role as a reserve still earned her a medal.
She has since returned home with medals from three more Winter Games as a vital part of Anna Hasselborg's team. She is the only person in Swedish Olympic history to have won medals in four consecutive Winter Games.
Gillis Grafström won three golds and one silver in four consecutive Olympics in his era (1920–1932), but in 1920 figure skating was part of the Summer Games in Antwerp. Of course, Grafström could not be blamed for this. Chamonix in 1924 is regarded as the first official Winter Games.
Celebrated with the kids
Shortly after securing a place in the final with a semi-final win over Canada on Friday, Agnes Knochenhauer celebrated with her children, Tilda and Oliver.
Teenager Tilda follows in her mother's footsteps.
"She also plays curling and is here in the stands cheering us on. It feels magical," says Agnes Knochenhauer.
What will it be like to see mom play for the gold?
"Super cool. I don't have words to describe it. It's so awesome."
How is it to watch?
"They are my role models. You really get into it."
Mom fills in:
"It's a dream to be here with your children. Tilda was two and a half when I played at my first Olympics. Now we're standing here and she's taller than me," says Knochenhauer, giving perspective on the twelve-year Olympic career.
"She'll probably beat me soon"
"And soon she'll probably beat me in curling too," she says, laughing.
There's nothing wrong with the daughter's ability as a curler, but right now few in the world can match her mother's. A large part of Team Hasselborg's success in Cortina can be attributed to Agnes Knochenhauer's performance match after match.
She thanks her family for that.
"They're a big part of this journey. A piece of the puzzle that's needed to keep going. Without the support of my children and my husband, it wouldn't work. We are a team."
Teammate Sofia Scharback called Agnes Knochenhauer the rock of the team against Canada.
"We are all rocks for each other. There will be pressure, there will be nerves. Then it's important that we back each other up," says Knochenhauer.
