Estonian curlers Marie Kaldvee and Harri Lill wrapped up their participation in the Milan-Cortina Olympic tournament with a disappointing record of two wins and seven losses, resulting in a tenth-place finish. In their final match, they were defeated by the Czech pair with a score of 8-4, where they particularly struggled in the third end, allowing the Czechs to score four points. This performance illustrates the challenges faced by Kaldvee and Lill in adapting to the competitive environment of the Olympics.
