Only two World Championship bronzes and criticism of the Olympic team build-up. Sam Hallam himself is not satisfied after four years as national team captain. "We should have won two golds anyway," the 46-year-old says.
SportsThe Sam Hallam era in Tre Kronor is over and they won only bronze. His last months in office were marked by failures in the group stage - in both the Olympics and the World Championship they exited in the quarter-finals against the toughest imaginable opposition.
Ice hockeyTwo serious injuries, a disallowed goal and a Switzerland that was far too good. Tre Kronor failed to spoil Switzerland's party in Zurich. The host nation won the quarter-final 3-1. "The goals we conceded feel cheap. But it was a hell of a warrior effort," said national team captain Sam Hallam to Viaplay.

Ice hockeyTre Kronor lost a disastrous 3-2 to Norway in the Ice Hockey World Championship after conceding two goals while on a power play. Sweden's place in the quarter-finals is thus threatened before the end of the group stage. "Overall, too bad," goalkeeper Arvid Söderblom told Viaplay.
