Darta Zunte is preparing for her third run in the women’s skeleton event at the Milano Cortina Olympics, entering the competition from 23rd place. This is a significant moment as she has made history as Estonia's first female skeleton athlete to compete at the Olympics. In her earlier runs, she achieved a combined time of 1:57.79, which placed her outside the top 20, falling short of the medal contention but still highlighting her achievement in representing Estonia at this prestigious event.

As Zunte competes on Saturday, the eyes of the sporting community will be on her, and the event will be broadcast live by ETV2 and ERR's sports portal. Commentators Emma Triin Seer and Marek Seer will provide insights and updates during the coverage, which commences at 19:00. The competition is fierce, with top contenders including Janine Flock from Austria, currently in the lead, and a strong German contingent following closely behind her.

The context of this event is not only significant for Zunte but also highlights the growing presence of Estonia in winter sports on an international stage. While Zunte may not be in medal contention at this moment, her participation is a landmark occasion for the country and serves as an inspiration for future athletes in Estonia. The developments from the Olympics can influence public interest and investment in sports, particularly winter sports, within the nation.
