In a dramatic turn of events at the women's relay event, Finland's team secured a bronze medal, while their main rival, the Germany team, experienced significant setbacks. Jasmi Joensuu led the Finnish team to victory by crossing the finish line 21 seconds ahead of Germany's anchor runner, Pia Finki, who expressed disappointment over the missed opportunity for a medal, stating that it was a major target for their team.

Compounding the challenges for the German team were adverse weather conditions at the Tesero ski stadium, which caused difficulties for many athletes. On the day of the competition, rain fell, preventing the ski course from being tested ahead of time due to concerns about course wear. The unexpected challenges of the slopes came as a shock to many competitors, with Finki noting that the deep snow made skiing difficult, forcing her to be cautious during the race.

The Italian team, also participating in the same event, had aimed for a strong performance on their home turf but ultimately fell short of podium finishes. The missed chances for both Germany and Italy add layers of intrigue and competitive dynamics to the ongoing ski events, putting even more focus on how the remaining teams will perform as the competition progresses.
