Forsberg still lays claim to the greatest scoring performance at a world juniors dating back to the 1993 showcase. He had 31 points in seven outings but was unable to lead the hosts past Canada in the gold-medal game. He wound up scoring the shootout winner in the gold-medal game of the 1994 Olympics to avenge his loss to Canada from the world juniors. It was the first of two Olympic golds for him, the other coming in 2006.
