Judaism was an active proselytising faith, and at least one Arab political leader converted to it. [J] Christianity had active missions competing with the Persians' Zoroastrianism in seeking converts, especially among residents of the Arabian Peninsula. All these strands came together with the emergence of Islam in Arabia during the lifetime of Muhammad (d. 632). By 714, Islamic forces controlled much of the peninsula in a region they called Al-Andalus. After his death, Islamic forces conquered much of the Eastern Empire and Persia, starting with Syria in 634–635 and reaching Egypt in 640–641, Persia between 637 and 642, North Africa in the later 7th century, and the Iberian Peninsula in 711. <SEP> Games Gold Silver Bronze 1998 Nagano details Canada (CAN) Sandra Schmirler Jan Betker Joan McCusker Marcia Gudereit Atina Ford Denmark (DEN) Helena Blach Lavrsen Margit Pörtner Dorthe Holm Trine Qvist Jane Bidstrup Sweden (SWE) Elisabet Gustafson Katarina Nyberg Louise Marmont Elisabeth Persson Margaretha Lindahl 2002 Salt Lake City details Great Britain (GBR) Rhona Martin Deborah Knox Fiona MacDonald Janice Rankin Margaret Morton Switzerland (SUI) Luzia Ebnöther Mirjam Ott Tanya Frei Laurence Bidaud Nadia Röthlisberger Canada (CAN) Kelley Law Julie Skinner Georgina Wheatcroft Diane Nelson Cheryl Noble 2006 Turin details Sweden (SWE) Anette Norberg Eva Lund Cathrine Lindahl Anna Svärd Ulrika Bergman Switzerland (SUI) Mirjam Ott Binia Beeli Valeria Spälty Michèle Moser Manuela Kormann Canada (CAN) Shannon Kleibrink Amy Nixon Glenys Bakker Christine Keshen Sandra Jenkins 2010 Vancouver details Sweden (SWE) Anette Norberg Eva Lund Cathrine Lindahl Anna Le Moine Kajsa Bergström Canada (CAN) Cheryl Bernard Susan O'Connor Carolyn Darbyshire Cori Bartel Kristie Moore China (CHN) Wang Bingyu Liu Yin Yue Qingshuang Zhou Yan Liu Jinli 2014 Sochi details Canada (CAN) Jennifer Jones Kaitlyn Lawes Jill Officer Dawn McEwen Kirsten Wall Sweden (SWE) Margaretha Sigfridsson Maria Prytz Christina Bertrup Maria Wennerström Agnes Knochenhauer Great Britain (GBR) Eve Muirhead Anna Sloan Vicki Adams Claire Hamilton Lauren Gray 2018 Pyeongchang details Sweden (SWE) Anna Hasselborg Sara McManus Agnes Knochenhauer Sofia Mabergs Jennie Wåhlin South Korea (KOR) Kim Eun - jung Kim Kyeong - ae Kim Seon - yeong Kim Yeong - mi Kim Cho - hi Japan (JPN) Satsuki Fujisawa Chinami Yoshida Yumi Suzuki Yurika Yoshida Mari Motohashi <SEP> Between 1820 and 1930, approximately 1.3 million Swedes, a third of the country's population at the time, emigrated to North America, and most of them to the United States.
