Sweden is the new World Champion after a convincing final victory over Norway 10-2. But the tournament was a big success for Norway. The team reached the final for the first time since 1976. This was the 30th World Championship in history for Men 19. The first tournament was played in 1968.
This was the 15th gold for Sweden. Russia has as many gold medals as Sweden, if you include the championships that the nation won as the USSR.
