Switzerland, who lost in the Mundial final in the second year in a row, entered the third position – 3965 points. The previous leader of the Canadian team, thanks to the shocking departure from Denmark in the quarterfinals of the World 2025 World Cup 2025, fell in fourth place, gaining 3935 points.
