Sweden's Lag Wranå Makes World Championship Debut at 2026 Women's Curling World Championship in Calgary

The 2026 Women's Curling World Championship took place from March 14 to 22 in Calgary, Canada, featuring a strong Swedish team known as Lag Wranå. This team, captained by Isabella Wranå, marked their debut in the senior World Championship after securing more ranking points than the previous representative, Lag Hasselborg, prior to the Olympics. The team members include Isabella Wranå, Almida de Val, Maria Larsson, Linda Stenlund, with coaching led by Margareta Sigfridsson.

A key change in the Swedish curling squad was Simon Olofsson stepping in to replace Christoffer Sundgren. Lag Wranå opened their championship campaign with a loss against Canada but continued to compete against teams from Denmark, Italy, Norway, and Scotland as the event progressed. Their participation was closely followed by Swedish viewers through SVT coverage.

Isabella Wranå's leadership is bolstered by her recent Olympic gold in mixed curling, adding significant experience and confidence to the team. The championship represents a milestone for Swedish women's curling as Lag Wranå aims to build on their ranking success and establish themselves on the world stage.

This world championship event highlights the competitive nature of international curling and Sweden's commitment to advancing in the sport through emerging talents and strategic team rotations.
