pressure at the end

Sweden started shivering in the penultimate round and Switzerland made their way to 7-8, the tenth and final round standings. Switzerland also took time there.

Anna Haselburg, Sarah McManus, Sophia Maberg and Agnes Knuchenhauer were hot in their ears in the final round, but they had an advantage by taking the last stone. There they made no mistakes and finally won the match 9-7 after one last losing stone, but it was controlled.

– We have to fight for every centimeter, but I’m very proud, Anna Haselburg tells Discovery+.

Haselburg’s tears

Behind the scenes, the entire team was also seen in front of a large screen where their families could be seen. A moment that became emotional for the whole team, not least Anna Haselburg. She couldn’t hold back her tears.

– It was really hard not having them here, I think, when you fight like we did this week, it would have been a little easier with them and I would have liked them to be here, she says on Discovery+.

Just getting a pat or something, but you feel their support, maybe not all the way to China, but almost, I would obviously like them here.

The bronze is Lag Haselburg’s second medal in the Olympic context after the 2018 PyeongChang gold.
