The women's 4x7.5 km relay race at the Milano Cortina Winter Olympics turned dramatic as Swedish skier Ebba Andersson fell twice during her leg of the race. Despite initially leading, the Swedish team had to contend with mishaps that allowed Norway to seize the gold medal, with their powerful skiers overcoming the challenges. Andersson's first fall allowed the Norwegians and Italians to move past her, but the worst was yet to come, as she fell again at the final checkpoint, breaking her ski binding and continuing with one ski until she received assistance.

Sweden started the relay in a strong position with Linn Svahn, who handed off to Andersson from the front. However, after Andersson's accidents, her teammate Frida Karlsson took to the track with a significant deficit of over a minute from the leading Norwegian team. Despite Karlsson's impressive performance, where she managed to give Jonna Sundling the baton in third place, the damage had been done, leaving Sweden unable to challenge for the gold medal.

Norway's strategy and resilience paid off handsomely, as they capitalized on the misfortunes of their competitors to secure the top podium spot, thus reinforcing their dominance in the sport. The race highlighted the unpredictability of Olympic events and the fine line between victory and defeat, with Estonia finishing in a modest 13th place, reflecting the competitive nature of the event and the challenges faced by all teams involved.
