PAISLEY, Scotland (CP) - Sweden's Anette Norberg said the shock of losing to Canada's Colleen Jones in the final of the world women's curling championship four years ago was a turning point for her team.
It was at that point Norberg overhauled her squad's style, which helped contribute to its first world title Sunday when Sweden downed American Cassie Johnson 10-4 to win the gold medal.
Norberg's near-misses at the world championship - she had won the bronze medal four times along with that second-place finish behind Jones - made landing the gold sweeter.
