“It’s great to be in the final again”

you win. And win. And win. The Swiss curling women are in the World Cup final after the 8:4 victory over hosts Sweden. Again in the final of the World Cup.

The team around Skip Silvana Tirinzoni (43) and Alina Pätz (33), who each play the last stone, is in the World Cup final for the fourth time in a row. They all won – no team in the history of curling (World Championships since 1979) has managed to become world champions three times in a row. And certainly not four times in a row.

Surprising last opponent Norway

Now a win against Norway is forever missing from this record. Tirinzoni: «It is a surprise that you made it to the final. In the preliminary round they were very defensive against us (6:1, ed.). I wonder how they will do in the final. I look forward.”

Pätz says: “We played solid as we did all week. It is great that we are in the final again.” Switzerland manages to reach the fourth final in a row in a new line-up. New are the previous substitutes Carole Howald (29) and Briar Schwaller-Hürlimann (29).

It doesn’t change the creepy winning streak. Since a round-robin match against Sweden at the 2021 World Cup, which they also won, Tirinzoni and Co. won all of their World Cup matches. That is now 35 World Cup matches won in a row. Also a record for eternity.
