The match saw the Swedish women's national ice hockey team, known as Damkronorna, face off against Switzerland in a nail-biting bronze medal game during the Winter Olympics held in Milan. After an intense competition, the game ended in a heartbreaking loss for the Swedes in overtime, reflecting the high stakes and pressures of Olympic competition. This outcome means that the team, which had aimed for a medal as part of Sweden's Olympic goals this year, must return home without achieving their target.

The brass match held significant importance for both teams, especially for Sweden, which had set ambitious goals for this year's Winter Olympics, aiming for a total of 15 medals across various disciplines. The Damkronorna were looking to secure the 16th medal for Sweden, which would have represented a strong achievement for women's ice hockey in the country. In the previous Winter Olympics held in Sochi in 2014, the same teams faced off in a similar medal contest, adding further historical context to their matchup this year.

Despite the disappointment, the performance of the Damkronorna throughout the tournament showcased the growing competitiveness of women's ice hockey in Sweden and the potential for future success. Their journey in the Olympics will inspire younger players and contribute to the development of the sport, as they continue to pursue medals in subsequent competitions and further their legacy on the international stage.
