Niklas Edin, the captain of Sweden's curling team, expressed dismay after a series of underwhelming performances at the Olympics, marking a notably poor start for the reigning champions. They faced a tough defeat against Great Britain, mirroring their loss from the Olympic finals held in Beijing four years prior. This new defeat has put pressure on Edin and his team as they struggle to regain their rhythm in the tournament.

The Swedish team also suffered a narrow loss against Italy just days before, amplifying concerns about their performance. Edin had an opportunity to secure a victory in that match, but ultimately fell short, further contributing to a tumultuous Olympic campaign. His recent comment, calling it a "bad day at work," underscores the high expectations placed upon him and his team as the favorites.

As the tournament progresses, the implications of these losses could weigh heavily on the team's morale and strategy moving forward, particularly given Edin's pivotal role as a skipper. Fans and analysts alike will be closely watching to see if the team can make the necessary adjustments to turn their fortunes around in upcoming matches, aiming to salvage their Olympic aspirations.
