Sweden won gold when they defeated Scotland 7-5 in the women’s final of the Le Gruyère AOP European Curling Championships 2025 on Saturday morning at Kisakallio Sports Institute in Lohja, Finland.
For the Scots, it was this team’s first appearance in a final, while for Sweden, this was a seventh appearance in the final and a chance to claim a third European title.
In the third end, with the score still at 0-0, Sweden’s skip Anna Hasselborg played a draw to open the scoring with one point.
The Scots responded in the fourth end when their fourth player, Rebecca Morrison, played a hit to score one point and level the score at 1-1.
In the fifth end, the Swedes moved ahead to a 3-1 lead when skip Hasselborg hit out a Scottish stone for two more points.
The Scots responded again in the sixth end when fourth player Morrison played a controlled take-out of a Swedish stone to score two points and level the game at 3-3.
In the seventh, Sweden’s skip Hasselborg played a hit on a Scottish stone to score two points and restore her team’s lead at 5-3.
In the eighth end, Scotland’s Morrison produced a nose-hit but could only score one point, reducing the Swedish lead to 5-4.
Sweden moved further ahead in the ninth end when Hasselborg drew her last stone into position to score two points and take a 7-4 lead. The Scots then conceded defeat in the tenth when they ran out of stones, handing Sweden their third European crown.
Afterwards, Sweden’s Anna Hasselborg said, “This means a lot to be on the top of the podium again. The way we’re playing right now, it’s nice to win like that and get that medal, as proof of what we’re doing right now. It shows that we can play at this level in the most important games.”
“It’s been such a great week, and I’m really pleased.”
Meanwhile a reflective Scottish skip, Sophie Jackson, said, “It’s really great to go home with a medal.
“It’s been a real up and down week for us, so we were pleased to make it to the final. We would have loved to go that one step further, but we’re really proud of what we’ve done here.”
“We always talk about resilience in this team, we’ve done it many times, coming back from a bad start in a championship. We’ll take a lot of learnings from this week.”
