The Hope of European Championship Semi Lives On After Two Wins

Wins against England and the Netherlands mean that the hope of a semifinal in the European Championship in curling lives on for Team Niklas Edin. Sweden is currently in a playoff spot, but concludes the group stage in the championship in Finland on Thursday against table leader Scotland, which has three consecutive European Championship golds.

We will not be without a chance in any way, says skipper Niklas Edin to Radiosporten about the meeting with Scotland.

The Scots are already clear for the semifinal after seven wins and one loss. Both Sweden and Italy stand on six wins and two losses, while the trio Germany, Norway, and Switzerland have five wins and three losses.

Head-to-head meetings will decide in case of an equal number of wins, and Sweden has won against Italy and Norway, but has lost against Germany and Switzerland.

We can even win the group stage if we win the last one and get some result with us (in the other matches). Then we suddenly go into the playoffs as favorites, says Edin.

The Netherlands fought well and the score was 6–6 after eight rounds, but then team Edin took a three-pointer for a 9–3 lead, and in the tenth and final round, the Dutch gave up the match.

Against England, the European Championship's worst team, the 8–3 win was secured already after eight rounds.

The Swedish women's team, led by Anna Hasselborg, are already clear for the semifinal and will conclude the group stage on Thursday against Italy.
