Sweden exits bronze

Despite the tears after the semi-final defeat against Russia, the Norwegians were not hard to recharge.

Sweden, on the other hand, seemed to have already packed their bags when they left for the last Olympics in Tokyo. Norway quickly went into the four-goal lead, then it was eliminated.

– A lot of emptiness of feeling, you don’t want four to come when there are four teams left. Winger Natalie Huckman says it’s sad that we made a good match and eventually got nothing home with us.

Left-wing Zamina Roberts did not think the 17-goal loss against Norway was unworthy – it did not reflect the Swedish Olympics.

– Norway is too good for us to play this badly. We were charged before this match and we publish it very easily.

We try everything we can, but once we do something good they create a goal. Looks like we never lit the flame. Why? Ask someone else.

Plom missed – in the end

It was a sign that midfielder Lynn Blom missed the first shot of the match slightly in the first half.

At the break, Sweden trailed by twelve balls, 7-19. Federation captain Thomas Axner tried in vain to revive the Swedes and used his two time in advance.

Jenny Carlson, who was not included in the starting seven but had more playing time as the match ended, did not have a good answer to what happened.

– This is a really good question, it would be very sad to get this result for a match like this if we knew we would have done something different.

The surprise of the match

A Swedish women’s national handball team did not advance to the Olympic quarterfinals more than Tokyo and did not win medals.

So, what this Swedish version did was historically and the team was praised for its achievements, especially crushing both Spain and the final ROK at the group stage. Many teams called Sweden the surprise of the match.

In addition, the Swedes played in a draw against the other final team, France, in the group final and played an equal match against them again in the semifinals.

Confederation captain Tomas Axner did not think the outcome of the match would leave a negative mark on performance.

– For me, smoking a little in the cup is not a strength for us. Overall, this is the most significant trip we have made since the European Championships. I am very happy with that. Let this match fall between the chairs. At the same time, it reminds us of how much we have to put up with at the end of a match.
