At the Milan Cortina Winter Olympics, biathlon competitions will witness both men's and women's pursuit races this Sunday. Estonian athletes Rene Zahkna and Kristo Siimer will be competing, as fans can catch the live broadcast on ETV and ERR Sports starting at 12:10 PM, with commentary by Tarmo Tiisler and Karel Kulbin and reporting by Ivar Lepik.

In the sprint race, two Estonians have secured advancement: Rene Zahkna, who will start with bib number 44, has a 2-minute and 34-second deficit from the leader, while Kristo Siimer is set to begin in the 53rd position, 16 seconds behind Zahkna. This event is crucial, as it offers an opportunity for these athletes to demonstrate their skills on the international stage amidst the heightened excitement of the Olympic Games.

A noteworthy highlight of the event includes French athlete Quentin Fillon Maillet, who earned a gold medal in the sprint at the last Olympics in Beijing, embarking on his quest to defend that title. He will have a 14-second advantage to start solo on the Anterselva ski arena, followed closely by Norwegian competitor Vetle Sjaastad Christiansen and Emilien Jacquelin, showing the competitive nature of this year's pursuit event with a host of fierce challengers lined up behind him.
