Today at 11:00, ETV and ERR’s sports portal will begin live broadcasts of the women's snowboard cross heats at the Milan-Cortina Olympics. Commentators Priidik Vesi and Ivar Kruusenberg will provide coverage, while reporter Debora Saarnak will report on the events as they unfold. The first time trial will feature 32 snowboarders, with the top 20 qualifying for the round of 16. The remaining competitors will participate in a second heat that continues to determine placements from 21st place onward.

Following the time trial, at 14:40, ETV2 and ERR’s sports portal will also cover the final competition involving all participating snowboarders. Among those competing is Estonian snowboard cross athlete Mai Brit Teder, who has managed to conduct 11 training runs on the olympic course in Livigno, Italy, and has adapted well to the challenging conditions. "I personally enjoy the course very much. It was a bit difficult at first, but after multiple runs, it has become easier. Now it's quite fun to ride with several others in training," she shared with ERR.

This coverage highlights not only Teder's preparations but also the enthusiasm surrounding the women's snowboard cross event, as local broadcasters provide real-time updates on the competition. With growing interest in snowboarding as a sport in Estonia, this event could inspire more young athletes to take up snowboarding, helping to develop future talents in the sport on the international stage.
