The Women's Worlds are going on in Calgary. As usual we'll follow Japan, who are in Group B.

The games:
2021/8/21 Japan 1 - 0 Denmark
2021/8/23 Japan 0 - 4 Czech Republic
2021/8/24 Japan 4 - 1 Hungary
2021/8/26 Japan [2 - 1] Germany
2021/8/28 Quarter-finals: [USA 10 - 2 Japan]
2021/8/29 Placement game: [Czech Republic 2 - 3 Japan]
2021/8/31 Fifth-place game: [Russia 2 - 0 Japan. Japan finish in sixth place.]
Group A is made up of Canada, the USA, Russia, Finland and Switzerland. Wait, where are the Swedes? Division 1, which has not held a championship since 2019, so 2023 is the earliest they'll be back in this tournament.
