The Olympic biathlon program kicks off with the mixed relay event on Sunday, featuring a team from Estonia consisting of Rene Zahkna, Kristo Siimer, Susan Külm, and Regina Ermits. The broadcast will start at 14:50 local time on ETV and ERR's sports portal, with Tarmo Tiisler and Karel Kulbin providing commentary, and Ivar Lepik reporting from the trackside. The Estonian team has placed in the top ten three times this year in the World Cup series, and they will aim to build on those results in the Olympic event.

This year, Zahkna and Siimer have been joined by individual medal contenders Külm and Ermits in the mixed relay team, which will start from the fifth row and race under the number 15 at the Milano Cortina Olympics. The Estonian team previously finished in 16th place in Beijing 2022 and secured 14th place in Sochi 2014. The mixed relay has been a part of the Olympic program since the Sochi games, with Norway winning twice and France once.

The mixed relay format in biathlon combines the skills of both male and female competitors, highlighting teamwork and strategic racing. As the team represents Estonia on this international stage, there is hope for a strong showing as they aim to improve upon previous finishes and capitalize on their recent performances in world competitions. The event not only serves as an opportunity for the athletes to showcase their talents but also as a moment for national pride and unity as Estonia competes among the world's best.
