That is very impressing! Discussed this with my team mates during the swedish super league and we think Retornaz will win the olympic gold in 2026! Also interesting that only 1 of 8 quarter finalists in the National (the grand slam event last week) was canadian

Congrats on Retornaz win! Italy is on its way to become a powerhouse in curling despite very small base of players if I am not mistaken.

Sweden world Champions, Silver to Spain and bronze to Canada'!

Sweden vs. Spain for gold, Canada and Norway in bronze game

Anything can happend in Mixed. Smaller nations usually send their best players. The good nations send some people who just wants to play for fun and who is not occupied with the grand slam or something else that happens at the same time as the qualifying national championship or the worlds (as it is for now when top-30 teams for men and women in the world plays Tour challenge). Team Sweden that now is seed 1 for the playoffs after 8/8 wins is a combination of two retired females (with good merits though), one male with no international experience and a skip that wasn´t even part of the winning team in the swedish mixed nationals, but stepped in because the original skip decides to play in the Tour challenge Tier 2 competition in Canada instead . just look at Belgium in quarter finals!!

My fault to jinx it. I wrote with maybe 30 seconds more to play in my comment here that the game ended 2-2. Had to Edit immediately. Such a way to probably miss olympics.

And there was a game finally that ended 3-2 to Spain after a penalty goal in the very last second

Hasselborg vs Wranå best of 7 this weekend about who to represent SWE in Euros. Wranå 2-0 so far

Such circus in the spanish football team. No one still knows if someone will actually play on friday against Sweden in the Nations league premiere, also working as olympic qualification.

In the oldest annual team event in athletics between Sweden and Finland , Sweden won 228.5-225.5 on womens side and 227-227 on mens side (more event wins)

Olympic, world and now also European team champs! And that this time without Peder Fredricsson. Looks like his brother is quite good too

If you mean 10% of the population in the specific country I really hope for the sport that it is not the case. Just being able to talk about Sweden I am pretty sure the majority know about Daniel Ståhl, and when almost 10% of the population watched the championship everyday - I even think some other swedish non-stars are known by 10%.

Not that practice matters but they say Ståhl threw 73.65 in practice on pre-camp in good winds. I guess this winning Throw, in good winds would have been at least that long! And of course 4 throwers could have been over 70 in windy conditions

ofc, Autocorrect :o He had the previous CR from last year.

wow! Denny could have won many finals with that result but finish 4th. And Czech Did the third ever 70+ Throw in a world final, after father Alekna and himself - and get that Championship record stolen a minute later, in bad discus Throw conditions! disastrous from Swedish tv, commercials destruering celebrations and almost missed the 110m hurldes final because of the commercials

Never before have 4 throwers in discus been over 68 in a world or olympic final!

So cute. Being a star herself, Katarina Johnson Thompson very starstruck when being interviewed by Carolina Klüft in Swedish tv

He also kissed a player on the mouth after the game and grabbed his balls standing besides the princess also new FIFA RANKING: 1. Sweden 2. spain 3. Usa 4. england 5. Germany Max one of the world rank 1 and the world Champions (rank 2) may even have a chance to reach the olympics.

Correct decision based on the pictures. But it is problematic when such decisions can be made so long after. what if an athlete in the first attempt in qualification, makes the Q-standard with white flag. He/she will not even be allowed to do the next attempts because he/she is considered as already qualified. Then if that mark would be changed to foul the day after (or even just after the qualification is over), that athlete would not even have had a chance to have a second result?

Sorry for the aussies but wow a third bronze in the latest 4 womens world cups!

Sweden has upgraded the security risk level to 4/5 after Al Qaida calls for attacks on Sweden (and Denmark). Great Britain is even are warning from travelling to Sweden. All because our free speach laws can´t stop a few number of idiots from burning the Quaran. Apparantly that is enough to attack swedish embassies, have huge protests in the middle-east, call for terrorist attacks despite Sweden is probably one of the most islam-friendly countries in Europe.

3 semifinals in the last 4 world cups and 2 of the 3 lates euros. And we will need to beat Spain later this year to even get the chance to repeat our olympic final losing streak too But Spain was the better team in this match so congratulations Spain

Deleted. wrong thread

Less than that?
