Sweden women's national basketball team
The Sweden women's national basketball team (Swedish: svenska dambasketlandslaget) represents Sweden in international women's basketball competition and is controlled by the Swedish Basketball Federation. The national team has entered five EuroBasket Women finals, the first in 1978 where they lost all of their matches and finished in 13th place. At the EuroBasket Women 1987 Sweden finished in 7th place, a feat repeated in 2013. In 2019 Sweden reached the quarterfinals and was ranked 5th, a result that secured a spot in the 2020 Olympic qualifying tournament.

Comparing with earlier decades, Sweden improved significantly during the 2010s. This was much thanks to the "Golden Generation" who won medals in junior championships on both European and World levels.[2]

gollark: I can't actually tell. I checked in it very briefly, in it the machines tower is 1 floor.
gollark: I have *parts* of it, plus older copies of it.
gollark: It was backed up. It's just that my backup retention policy was broken.
gollark: This latest messup was probably mostly on me (really should test stuff better), but I have no idea how big modded servers run without exploding.
gollark: This is really awful. I've managed to recover *some* of the new region files (from the corrupted forge-side backup), I think all the nether/end, and the level.dat, but no playerdata. Kind of annoyed at myself for misconfiguring the backup thing... anyway, if anyone has suggestions for getting more data out, or wants their own copy of stuff, you can ask, but I'm going to shut it down.
