The women's 4 x 7.5 km relay event at the Milan Cortina Winter Olympics turned into a dramatic race, particularly for the Swedish team, who started strong but faced significant setbacks. Early on, leading skier Ebba Andersson fell twice during her leg, which allowed Norway and Italy to gain ground. Despite the strong start, their mishaps proved costly as Andersson's second fall resulted in her ski binding breaking, forcing her to continue on one ski until she could receive a replacement.

Norwegian skiers capitalized on the situation, ultimately securing the gold medal as they maintained a strong performance throughout the race. In contrast, the Swedish team struggled to recover from the defeats in the early stages, even when Frida Karlsson took to the track in 8th position, over a minute behind the leader. Karlsson aimed to bridge the gap, but despite her powerful exchange which moved Sweden up to third, it wasn't enough to contend for the top as Norway's relay team performed exceptionally well.

Estonia, meanwhile, finished in 13th place, marking a tough day for the team. As the focus was on the misfortunes of Sweden leading to a gold for Norway, the Estonian women's team will look to learn from this experience for future competitions and hope for better fortunes at upcoming events. The race underscored the unpredictability of Olympic events where every moment can drastically change the outcome.
