Sweden's mixed-doubles curling team, consisting of siblings Isabella and Rasmus Wranaa, secured the gold medal at the Milano Cortina Winter Olympics by defeating the United States 6-5. Isabella's impressive performance, shooting 97%, was instrumental in Sweden's victory.

This win marks Sweden's first Olympic gold in mixed doubles curling, making them the second-most successful nation in curling at the Winter Olympics. The Wranaas' victory moves Sweden level with Canada with 12 total medals, though Canada has one more gold.

Sweden's Wranaa and Rasmus took an early lead, limiting the US duo Korey Dropkin and Cory Thiesse to just one point in the first end. A precise shot from Isabella put Sweden 2-1 up, nestling a stone on the button.

The pairs exchanged points in the next two ends, leaving Sweden 3-2 up at the halfway mark. 

Sweden's powerplay strategy, similar to their 9-3 semi-final win over Britain, didn't quite pay off in the sixth end, yielding just one point. The US capitalized, hitting back with two points in the penultimate end to take a 5-4 lead.

The momentum seemed to shift in the US favor, but Dropkin and Thiesse's shots went awry, and Isabella Wranaa seized the opportunity, sealing the win on the final stone.

Sweden take gold! 🥇
