In the ongoing Milan and Cortina Olympic Games, Latvian representatives Elīna Ieva Bota and Kendija Aparjode are set to compete in women's luge events. These athletes are part of Latvia’s hopes for success at this prestigious international event, where they will be challenged by competitors from around the world.

In addition to the luge events, the Latvian national hockey team is also active, as they engage in a training match against the Swiss national team. This game serves as preparation ahead of their official competitions in international tournaments and allows for valuable practice against a strong Canadian team.

The participation of Bota and Aparjode, along with the training match for the hockey team, reflects Latvia's commitment to showcasing its athletic talent on a global stage. Such events are crucial not only for the athletes' development but also for the inspiration they provide to fans and the younger generation in Latvia, promoting sports and Olympic values.
