Sweden in European Championship final after thriller: "Proud and happy"

Team Anna Hasselborg made it to the European Championship final after a thriller in the semifinal against Scotland. It ended 6–4 in favor of the Swedish women, thereby securing a medal. I'm so proud and so happy. This is exactly as we had planned, says Hasselborg.

The Swedes started cautiously and scored their first point in the fifth round.

Then, however, they scored three points after a great play from Anna Hasselborg, taking a 3–1 lead.

Scotland equalized with two points in the next round.

After each team scored a point in the seventh and eighth rounds, the Swedes took one point in the ninth and led 5–4 going into the final regular round – but their opponents had the last stone.

However, the Swedes showed their class, while the Scots faltered, and stole a point.

It feels so good that we're doing the right things and winning the big matches, says Hasselborg in SVT's broadcast.

Team Anna Hasselborg, who won Olympic gold in 2018, missed the European Championship last year and their comeback thus ends with a medal.

Previously, the Swedes have taken two golds and three silvers in the European Championship.

In the final on Saturday morning, they will face Switzerland, who won the group stage and won big in their semifinal, 7–3 against Italy.
