Swedish victory after misses against China

Two straight misses and an end with three dropped points. That saw Sweden's Team Isabella Wranå rally against China. Five straight points produced a 9–4 win and their sixth World Cup victory in Calgary.

"It has been a learning process, but now we are starting to get closer," says Isabella Wranå, who won Olympic gold in the mixed doubles with her brother Rasmus, in an interview on SVT.

In the fifth round the Swedes lost a 4–1 lead, falling to 4–4 after two consecutive misses.

But the Swedes pulled themselves together and picked up points in every round after that before China conceded after the ninth round.

Sweden, who won their fourth game in a row, are third in the regular-season standings and are approaching the playoffs. In total, the Swedes have six wins and two losses.

The next Swedish match will be played on Thursday night against Japan.
