Big relief for Pablo Lachat, Sven Michel, Yannick Schwaller and Benoît Schwarz. The Swiss curling team won the bronze medal at the European Championships in an exciting match against Italy.

The match was on edge from the start. The Swiss managed to go into an extra end with the score level. There they converted the advantage of the last stone into a house of four.

For CC Genève it is the fifth medal win at a European Championship since 2015. The gold medal is still missing.

Bronze as a consolation prize

The bronze medal match was also a duel between two disappointed teams. Both had lost their semi-finals a few hours earlier. The Swiss apparently recovered better from their 4:7 defeat in the morning against the current world and European champion from Scotland. For the Italians, the disappointment was greater after they won all nine round robin matches.

The ambitious team from Geneva still has time to make up for existing shortfalls. The settlement will only take place during the 2026 Olympic Games in Milan. (SDA/mab)
