Scotland is the best.

First the Scots (Muirhead) and then the Scots (Mouat) are the best teams at this year's European Championships. The women's final was more evenly matched. The men's battle for gold broke down for the Swedes after two deuces were received. The very well, almost perfectly playing Scots did not allow any tangles and won in nine ends. The Italians are third. Sweden takes silver and Germany bronze in the women's event. The Czech athletes took the opportunity to test the effectiveness of their throwing in a special test. The photo shows Míša, whose efforts are watched by the bronze Italian Amos Mosaner (far right). Assisted by sister Elizabeth. The lavish farewell party at the Scandic Hotel is underway. The icemaker team (headed by Mark Callen) and of course the two winning teams get the biggest applause. The next event is the Olympic qualifiers in Holland.
