Sweden won the 4-nations tournament for women in Gothenburg, Sweden, March 21-23 in Ruddalens Indoor Arena, Gothenburg.
Finland, Norway, USA and Sweden met in single matches and Sweden won all of the games. Especially the last game against USA was a really exciting one. USA stood up very well against the reigning World Champions, at least during the first half. USA was also in the lead two times with 1-0 and 2-1.
USA will be a very interesting participant in the next World Championship for women if the USA development continues as it has done so far.
Sweden won the tournament of a maximum of 6 points, Norway 4 points, USA 2 points and Finland 0 point. Results and final table below.

The most exciting participation was the USA womens team. Third place in the tournament and games that promise nice things for the future.
Happy USA team even after a 2-8 loss against the Swedish youth 21 team. But it was just a warming up event…
