Sweden's curling team, led by skip Niklas Edin, secured a victory against Italy at the world championship in Ogden, USA. The match took place on Saturday, with Sweden winning 9-4 after Italy conceded after nine ends. Sweden had a shaky start, trailing Italy after three ends, but Edin delivered a key stone in the fourth end that earned three points and gave Sweden a lead they maintained.
The win follows Sweden's opening victory in the tournament, which involved confusion in their match against Scotland. Next, Sweden will face China.
