The article details the live coverage of the men's 10 km freestyle skiing event at the Milan Cortina Olympics, set to begin at 12:40 PM local time. The event will be reported by Tarmo Tiisler and Vahur Leemets, with Johannes Vedru on the scene. Among the 113 competitors are Estonian skiers Martin Himma, starting with number 19, and Alvar Johannes Alev, starting in the 29th position.

Anticipation builds around the Norwegian team, particularly Johannes Hosflöt Kläbo, who has already won two gold medals during the Olympics, and his teammate Einar Hedegart, who has shown strong performances this season. The article notes the likelihood of a Norwegian sweep of the podium with good prospects for Harald Östberg Amundsen and Marin Löwström Nyenget as well, given the Norwegian dominance in this discipline in recent races.

The ongoing World Cup season has seen the 10 km freestyle event take place twice, apart from the final climb of the Tour de Ski, with Hedegart securing victory in both Trondheim and Davos, where Norwegian skiers captured all podium spots. This context further establishes the backdrop for the Olympic event, emphasizing the competitive edge of the Norwegian team as they head into the race.
