Swiss hockey women create history – see

Who would have thought? The Swiss finish in fifth and last place in the group stage, losing all four games, scoring 17 goals and scoring themselves only once. Only thanks to the special mode – all five teams from Swiss Group A had made their way to the knockout stages before the tournament – Colin Muller’s team could still make it to the quarter-finals. And indeed makes history against Russia, reaching the semi-finals for the first time since 2012. And that after a complete horror start.

Andrea Brandly lost by goal for the first time after just 78 seconds. The Zurich resident abandons Ricochet and is then abandoned by his companions. Nine minutes later, Brandley, who had to pass two of the three shots, was replaced by Saskia Maurer. The Russians hit a majority, then everything seems to be under control.
