We are back to our regularly-scheduled 4-person team previews and this time around, we are covering two of the teams we think are the most intriguing in the field, and they're both from the same country: Sweden. Niklas Edin has had a very bumpy quad but he's the defending Olympic Gold Medallist and he won the Europeans in the fall, so does he still have the juice in what might be his last kick at the can? And on the women's side, it's a similar story. Anna Hasselborg won her first major international tournament in 6 years when she won the Euros, but this year has been tough. She's lost the Swedish Worlds spot to Isabella Wranå and hasn't had great results outside of the Euros. Can she put it together and add a third medal to her trophy case? And of course, Japan has a long history of success on the women's side of this event, and so does Norway on the men's. While neither team is a favourite, will they have the ability to play spoiler? We break it all down here in our continuing series as we get you ready for Milano-Cortina 2026. Special thank you to doubletakeout.com for the rankings and Shoreview Sports for the analytics. This episode is brought to you by Goldline Curling. Check out goldlinecurling.com for all your Canadian Olympic apparel, equipment, and on-ice apparel needs.
