Lost in World Championships final, still a Swedish curling success

Swedish curling can look back on a rarely seen season of success, but a golden championship finish did not materialize. Therese Westman, 28, and Robin Ahlberg, 26, lost the mixed doubles final at the World Championships in Geneva.

Australia's Tahli Gill and Dean Hewitt won 8–4. The Swedes conceded before the final end.

The Swedes reached the final after a 6–4 win against Canada in the semi-finals, securing another Swedish medal.

Here are Swedish curling's impressive results this season:

+ Olympic gold in mixed doubles (Isabella and Rasmus Wranå).

+ Olympic gold in women's team (Team Hasselborg).

+ World Championship gold in men's team (Team Edin).

+ World Championship bronze in women's team (Team Wranå).

+ World Junior Championship silver in women's team (Team Dryburgh).

+ Paralympic bronze (Team Petterson Dahl).

+ World Championship silver in mixed doubles (Therese Westman and Robin Ahlberg).
