TEAM PROFILE<br />
Sweden have two medals from Women’s EHF <strong>EURO</strong> events to date: a silver won<br />
in 2010 and a bronze won in 2014, and chances as well as hopes are there that the<br />
Women’s EHF <strong>EURO</strong> 2016 on home ground is the opportunity to complete the<br />
set and win gold.<br />
Sweden are led by the inspirational Isabelle Gullden, the MVP of the Women’s<br />
EHF <strong>EURO</strong> 2014. The back court ace plays for CSM Bucuresti in Romania.<br />
In the 2015/16 season she not only won the Women’s EHF <strong>Champ</strong>ions League<br />
but also became the competition’s top scorer with 108 goals. From the bench the<br />
team will be guided by Henrik Signell who took over as head coach in May 2016.<br />
At the two most recent major tournaments, Sweden played reasonably successful<br />
preliminary rounds, but faltered twice when it came to the first knockout match.<br />
At the World <strong>Champ</strong>ionship 2015 they had placed second in their group but lost<br />
the Last 16 match to Denmark 26:19; at the 2016 Olympic Games they came third<br />
in their group but had no chance in the quarter-final against Norway, losing 33:20.<br />
