At the Milano Cortina Olympics, two Estonian biathletes, Susan Külm and Tuuli Tomingas, qualified for the women's pursuit race on a 10 km course. The event is set to take place at 15:45 local time, with Postimees providing live updates. There is a sense of underlying disappointment as both athletes have struggled with their performances leading up to the Olympics, indicating that they have not met their own expectations despite their hard work and dedication.

Susan Külm expressed her personal frustration, stating that she feels unable to effectively combine her shooting and skiing skills during competitions, resulting in performances that don’t reflect the effort she has put in over the years. She finished the recent sprint event as the best Estonian competitor, securing 37th place, yet remains disheartened by the results. Similarly, Tuuli Tomingas had also faced challenges during the sprint, finishing in 57th place after narrowly qualifying for the pursuit event, illustrating the tough competition they both face in the Olympic arena.

The context of this event is significant for Estonia, as expectations were high for its athletes, and the disappointment expressed by Külm could reflect broader feelings within the Estonian sports community. The hope is that the women's pursuit race might bring a turnaround in their Olympic journey, providing a moment of pride and joy despite the current challenging circumstances surrounding their performances.
