TODAY LIVE | What place will Alev earn in the ski relay?
The Milano Cortina Winter Olympics skiing program continues with the men's 10 + 10 km relay race featuring Alvar Johannes Alev, who hopes to improve on his previous Olympic performance.
The Milano Cortina Winter Olympics features the men's 10 + 10 km relay race taking place this Sunday, with Estonia's Alvar Johannes Alev participating. Having finished 33rd in the last Olympics in Beijing, Alev is aiming to achieve a better result in his second Olympic appearance. The broadcast of the event begins at 13:20 EET, with commentary provided by Tarmo Tiisler and Taavi Lehemaa, and reporting by Johannes Vedru on-site.
Alev's main competition will likely come from Norwegian skiers, especially Johannes Hösflöt Kläbo, who is among the favorites but has yet to secure an Olympic medal in the relay event. Despite his prior successes in other formats, having won the world championship in the 20 km last year, he has had to settle for 40th and 10th place in previous Olympic appearances. This backdrop sets the stage for a highly competitive relay as Alev and his fellow competitors strive for Olympic glory.
With one ski relay race already completed in the current World Cup season, Kläbo demonstrated his prowess by winning, followed closely by Norwegian teammates Harald Östberg Amundsen and Emil Iversen. The excitement builds as Alev enters the competition, with hopes that he can surpass his previous Olympic performance and contribute to Estonia's standing in winter sports.
