3 stone end for the Swedes!

 

Uneducated crowd though. Korean misses her shot, putting it right in the house fully opened for a nose hit, and yet the crowd cheers!

Yep, that's it.

Yes, the home crowd really aren't clued up . I think that might change in the coming years though as I m hoping and expecting that the success of the Garlic Girls will inspire the nation.

 

Sweden have played an excellent game, not asked to play anything too difficult in this final but they have not put a foot wrong.

Sweden wins the direct battle for the 6th place on the medal table.

Really like these girls from Korea, they are classy even in defeat. I feel for them right now but I hope to see much more of them

Which they could still have taken even if this final was lost

Only with the unlikely gold in 30km...

More likely that it won't happen of course, but it's also far from unrealistic
