Sweden came into the women's tournament as strong favourites to retain their crown, having won every edition, with the exception of 2014, since the event started in 2004.

In the final at Aby in Vaxjo, Sweden showed no mercy to their opponents Finland, running out 15-0 winners, with Tilda Strom netting six times.

The other Swedish scorers were Karla Thuresson, Mathilda Eklund, Linnea Larsson, Sanna Gustafsson, Ida Friman and Agnes Ogren.

Sweden reached the final with a perfect record from the pool stage, scoring 20 goals and not conceding any as they won all four of their matches.

The United States claimed the bronze medals after beating The Netherlands 4-0, with goals from Kalli Funk, Amy Stech, Mollie Carroll and Tam Meuwissen.

Sweden also claimed the men’s crown for the first time since 2017 after defeating Finland 3-1 in the final.

Martin Landstrom gave Sweden the lead in the 27^th minute before Teemu Maatta levelled the contest for Finland nine minutes later.

Sweden took the lead courtesy of Joel Broberg in the 42^nd minute before Christoffer Edlund netted two minutes later to extend their advantage to 3-1.

Sweden finished top of the Division A table following the round-robin phase, scoring double figures in winning three of their matches.   

The other contest was against Finland and saw the spoils shared with Sweden winning a penalty shootout 4-1, which ended up being used to separate the two teams as they both finished the round-robin phase with the same points total.

The bronze medals went to Norway, who defeated Kazakhstan 5-1 to win their first medals at the event since they took bronze on home soil in 1993.

Nikolai Rustad Jensen scored four of Norway’s goals in the bronze-medal match.

Defending men’s champions Russia, plus Belarus, were both absent from the men’s and women’s World Championships due to the ongoing war in Ukraine.
