The match, which went to 11 ends, finally came down to stone placement, as Norberg helped with a steady hand to win it all.
This was despite a heroic effort by Cheryl Bernard and the Canadian team. The final score was 7-6.
Sweden will take home the gold, while Canada will have to settle for silver. Still, the Canadian curling team does have one more chance for gold: the men's team takes on Norway tomorrow.
