I don’t currently have live access to up-to-date news feeds, but I can share what’s widely established about the 2013 IIHF World Championship based on historical sources.
Direct answer
- The 2013 IIHF World Championship took place from May 3 to May 19, 2013, in Stockholm, Sweden, and Helsinki, Finland. Sweden won the title, defeating Switzerland 5-1 in the final.
Context and key details
- Host nations: Sweden and Switzerland were the finalists, with Sweden earning their ninth world title and their first gold at home since 1987 in a World Championship hosted in Sweden; Sweden’s win marked a return to the top after a strong tournament run and the Sedin brothers’ late-season return boosted the team.[1][2]
- Final match: Sweden beat Switzerland 5-1 in the Ericsson Globe (Stockholm) on May 19, 2013, securing the championship.[2][10]
- Notable context: Sweden had a slower start to the tournament but gained momentum as they advanced, aided by the national team’s depth and the addition of key players after their NHL teams’ playoff runs.[2]
If you’d like, I can pull more granular items such as final standings, top scorers, or game-by-game results, and present them with a concise summary or a chart. I can also look up recent coverage or retrospectives from specific outlets if you have a preferred source.
