The Milano Cortina Winter Olympics continues with the women’s 10 km freestyle cross-country skiing event, which features four Estonian athletes: Kaidy Kaasiku, Keidy Kaasiku, Teesi Tuul, and Mariel Merlii Pulles. Scheduled to start at 14:00, this event follows a previous race that failed to deliver excitement, as the medal placements were all but decided well before the finish line. The Swedish team showcased strong performances, taking the top medals with Frida Karlsson leading the way, finishing well ahead of her teammate Ebba Andersson.

In the previous race, the competition remained stark as the Swedes claimed a significant victory, with the Estonian sisters, the Kaasik duo, finishing in the 50s, far behind the leaders. Kaidy Kaasiku completed the race in 43rd place while her sister Keidy followed closely in 47th. The disparity in timing was evident, as they finished several minutes behind the winner, highlighting the challenges they face against stronger competitors. The Estonians did not participate in the preceding classic sprint, which was dominated by Swedish skiers who secured all three top positions.

As the Estonian women prepare for the upcoming distance race, there is hope that they can deliver a better performance and possibly improve their standings. The live coverage provided by Postimees aims to keep fans updated on their progress in this critical event. Given the previous lack of competitiveness, this race is viewed with anticipation to see if it will indeed provide the excitement and engagement that spectators are hoping for, as each athlete strives to push their limits in this showcase of winter sports.
