European Championship Silver Medalists 2026
We finished our very first tournament representing Switzerland with a place on the podium!
After arriving in the Czech Republic at short notice, we had our official practice session on Tuesday morning before playing our first game against the host nation, the Czech Republic, that same evening.
The game started evenly, but in the second end we managed to score four points, giving us a comfortable lead. Thanks to a solid team performance, we were able to maintain that advantage until the end of the game.
We also won our next four group games, finishing the round robin with the following results: Game 1: 8–3 win against Czech Republic Game 2: 4–2 win against Germany Game 3: 8–4 win against Italy Game 4: 7–3 win against Norway Game 5: 8–2 win against Lithuania
With five wins from five games, we finished the round robin undefeated and at the top of our group. This secured us a place in the semifinals against Scotland, who had finished second in the other group.
Our semifinal against Scotland turned into a real thriller. The game started evenly, but the Scottish team took advantage of our mistakes and managed to build a lead.
After six ends, we were trailing by one point and didn't have the hammer in the seventh end. However, thanks to a strong end, we managed to steal a point and tie the game. This meant we had to go all in once again in the final end and try to steal another point.
Unfortunately, the eighth end started much better for the Scottish team. At one point, it looked like we were heading for defeat. But then our opponents made a few crucial mistakes, which we were able to take advantage of. We managed to turn the end around and actually stole the deciding point!
