The Olympic biathlon program is set to kick off with a mixed relay, where Estonia's team comprises Rene Zahkna, Kristo Siimer, Susan Külm, and Regina Ermits. The live broadcast by ETV and ERR's sports portal will commence at 14:50, with commentary by Tarmo Tiisler and Karel Kulbin, alongside field reporter Ivar Lepik. As anticipation builds for this event, local fans are eager to see how the Estonian team performs after last year's Olympic performance and their recent World Cup standings.

This year, the Estonian team has made a noteworthy impact in the World Cup series by securing places in the top ten three times. Their strong performance has led to Külm and Ermits joining Zahkna and Siimer, who have individually excelled in recent competitions. The team will start in the fifth row and will wear bib number 15 during their first race at the Milano Cortina Olympic Games.

Historically, Estonia's mixed relay team has faced challenges, finishing 16th in Beijing in 2022 and 14th in Sochi in 2014. Unlike previous Olympics, where their participation was limited, this year's team represents a cohesive unit aiming to improve upon past performances as mixed relay events have been a part of the Olympic program since Sochi, with Norway achieving dominance in two of these competitions and France in one.
