The Scotland v Sweden finals ended up with one win for each country.
In the Men's Final it was a tight game all the way through, with Sweden leading 6-5 after 9 ends. In the last end Sweden had amassed a strong position of lying 4 shots with the last stone to come from Scotland. With the centre of the ice open and the red rings and button to draw into for the game, unfortunately Kyle Smith's stone was too strong and went straight through, leaving the Swedes with a 10-5 win for their 4th consecutive European title. Smith will be distraught but he and his team have played very well throughout and will appreciate their Silver Medal.
GOLD - SWEDEN
SILVER - SCOTLAND
BRONZE - SWITZERLAND

Sweden's Niklas Edin, Rasmus Wranaa, Oskar Eriksson and Christoffer Sundgren
This time the Scots came out on top with a 6-3 win over Sweden. In a reverse of the Men's Final, Scotland narrowly led by 4-3 after 8 ends and followed this up by a single shot to lead by 2 going into the last end. The Swedish skip was slightly heavy with her last stone of the game to leave the Scots still lying 1 shot and the win.

Big cheesy grins from the B Division Gold Medallists from Finland
In the final ranking table, England's Men finished in 9th place, ahead of Wales in 12th. England's Women ended their tournament in a very creditable 5th place.
PS - Good attempt SCO, but the big difference was that in Post 10, I somehow managed to predict the Gold Medal and Bronze Medal games, instead of the actual games played (I'm sure I copied the games correctly on Thursday, but obviously not). However the results are correct.
