Current Olympic champions Sweden and Scotland have seen their respective junior teams relegated at the World Juniors. This sport keeps getting unpredictable!

 

At one point Latvia was leading the women's event. 

Canadian women must be a bigger sensation. However the b-championship is always played earlier in the season with the possibility to qualify to the A-division the same season so all relegated nations Will have a chance to be in A again already next year. I remember my team in 2017 took the last spot to avoid relegation.

 

My bet for womens title now would actually be Sweden despite almost missing out. I have played them twice this season and it was Two very tight games which is impressive by some 16-year Old girls against one of the 2-3 best Swedish mens team as I consider us
