South Korea and Sweden each won again today at the Ice Sledge Hockey World Championships ©Getty ImagesSouth Korea and hosts Sweden will meet in a final in all but name tomorrow on the final day of the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) Ice Sledge Hockey World Championships B-Pool after each won for a fourth time today in Östersund. 


After racking up three huge victories in their opening matches in the round-robin format, including a record 15-0 win over Poland, South Korea again recorded double figures, beating Britain 10-0.

Seung-Hwan Jung, Young-Sung Kim and Jong-Kyung Lee each scored twice, with Jung, widely considered the fastest player in the world, now having scored 13 goals in the tournament, more than the entire British, Polish and Austrian teams combined.

South Korea have now managed a staggering 43 goals and conceded only one. 

Hosts Sweden, however, are bound to present a tougher challenge tomorrow, after they beat Austria 8-0, thanks largely to five goals in the first period.

Five-time Paralympian Niklas Ingvarsson found the net three times, while Rasmus Lundgren and Peter Ojala also each scored twice.

Slovakia moved into bronze medal position in the six-team competition with a 4-1 victory over Poland, 35-year-old former sit skier Marian Ligda scoring twice. 

They now have two wins and two losses to their name, while Britain and Poland each have one win and three defeats and Austria are yet to record a victory.

South Korea and Sweden will clash in the final game of the tournament tomorrow evening, after Britain face Poland and Austria take on Slovakia.

The top two finishers from the B-Pool tournament will be promoted to the A-Pool for 2017, while the last place team will be relegated to a new C-Pool tournament next season.
