For the siblings, the group stage was over after the 7-8 loss to the USA, and nervous minutes followed as they waited to find out if they could still advance.

Hopes were placed on Norway, who had the lead against Switzerland - a lead they maintained, which meant that Switzerland could not pass Sweden in the standings.

It's unbelievable. We just stand there and can't take our eyes off their path, said Rasmus Wranå in SVT's broadcast.

Younger sister Isabella adds:

I'm very proud of the journey we've made. I feel energized and believe in us for the playoffs.

The semi-finals will be decided on Monday evening.
