Sweden, who were trailing by two points to Norway in the 10th end, needed to score two points with their last shot to force an extra end. His attempt, made with huge amounts of spin on the stone, is an unusual sight at the top level and successfully levelled the scores by the finest of margins.

You know it's something special when your wife texts you at work to tell you about a curling shot she just witnessed (which mine did).

[@logic9436]

The fact it was made against us in Norway is so typical Sweden......

[@brianbagnall3029]

I watched this live and thought it was a joke shot at first. Then everyone in the room was yelling at the television when we realized what was about to happen. Edin is a legend!

Love how authentically delighted Sander is. You speak for all of us; buddy!

[@FrankDaBank25]

That was the most amazing shot I've ever seen. And I'm not sure why.

I bet you’ll see more of this high tech curling in the future,I curled on Ed Werenich’s rink in high school and shot making like this is something you just dreamt about.

I have no idea what happened, but huh, cool I guess.

[@thurtongkhanbumbumpom]

It's first time I see something like that. Literally. Unbelievable

[@joelgrosschmidt5507]

I wish i knew what happened here haha

[@dannycarlow8204]

Question- Is it still the greatest shot if he only scores 1? I can't decide.

[@d.Cog420]

why is it called curling when it goes straight?
