Sweden infrance casts the spell and returns to the throne'' Europe'' s

The team Margaretha Sigfridsson broke the tradition unfavorable against Scotland, especially in the finals against the skip Eve Muirhead doing her first major title at the international level. For the'' opponent, who has mismanaged the 73 minutes of actual time, it is the third defeat in the last 4 years.

Sooner or later it had to end the curse and so it was on the ice of Stavanger. Sigfridsson, in the role of skip, had lost 4 matches well with the world title up for grabs, one for the Junior World Championships and an'' other for the continental crown. When enough is enough. It is against the black beast Muirhead the Swedish national has had his revenge after a duel with an open hand stolen from 1. After the Highlanders 4-1 in the third they found the equalizer in the sixth before committing too many errors, the result mainly of an excessive hurry dictated by a nefarious management of the 73 minutes of actual time dispozione. In the last two hands Muirhead was left with just over 9 minutes, almost half compared to how many are needed to play the tenth. The 10-5 final does not make the idea of'' balance'' which featured mainly the central part of the challenge, which prevents Muirhead of wins from the tournament undefeated. '' The feat was achieved only by Anette Norberg in 2003 and 2005 (from when Europeans are played to 10 teams). The bronze went to the neck of Mirjam Ott passed 6-4 Denmark Lene Nielsen. 9 are now his podiums at the continental level.
