Lund semi-finals: ‘He will play at his highest level ever’

After an exciting semi-final, Eden’s team finally managed to defeat Canada 5-3.

– What a game they are playing, the level they maintain throughout the game is impressive to say the least. Eva Lund says I totally lost my mind and I think they deservedly won this match.

Canada managed to catch up towards the end and put pressure on the Swedes. But Eden’s team kept his cool and had millimeters on his side.

Canada could have gone into the last round two, but that’s what makes me so impressed with Sweden. She was screwed between the stones, but what Niklas does with the last stone is magic. The final round shows how curling is a millimeter sport when it comes to accuracy, she says.

A horror encounter with arch foes

Sweden now faces Great Britain in the final, which ranked first in the world before the tournament.

– These two teams in particular are at the top of the world because they have players in all their positions and they have the perfect record for different types of hits. It’s the little things that will decide this final matter, Lund says, and it’s important to be on the right side of those margins.

With Great Britain winning the group final between the two countries, they have an advantage in taking the last stone.

It’s a small feature, but it’s only a small feature. But hopefully, it’s a match like this, says Lund, with a decision made at the end of the match.

“Collective Responsibility”

Team Edin’s goal is to win an Olympic gold, and Lund believes they are well prepared for the task. According to the expert, Sweden will play just like Canada – and it is believed that they will perform at an all-time high.

– All four players know what is expected of them, and they have to press their opponents with every stone they play in order to increase the difficulty level for the other team.

It’s all about the collective responsibility to put pressure on the opponent from the first stone in the first round. They need to do it now against Great Britain – the same level of play and the same responsibility to complete the match in the best way possible, she says.
