historic gold medal game at world championships

with  sweden winning 5-1 over swtizerland 1)  they win thier first championship since 2006 2) became the first home nation since the soviet union in 1986 to win gold 3)  switzerland wins a medal at the worlds since 1953 when they won a bronze.  yes 60 years.   this after spending several years in the lower divisions.  switzerland made the return to the worlds in 1992, went up and down from top division to first division for aboujt three or four years and hass been up since 1996 or 97 and has been getting better.  definitely switzerland is a team to look out for.
