TODAY LIVE | Can anyone dethrone Norway's relay team?

The article discusses the men's 4x7.5 km relay race in cross-country skiing at the Milano Cortina Winter Olympics, highlighting Norway as the favorite team in the event.

This article from ERR details the men's 4x7.5 km relay race in cross-country skiing scheduled for the Milano Cortina Winter Olympics. On Sunday, the Norwegian men's team is set to compete with a strong lineup, aiming to replicate the success of the women's team, which faced a tough challenge from Sweden the previous day. The commentary will be provided by Tarmo Tiisler and Riho Roosipõld, with Johannes Vedru as the reporter, starting at 12:55 PM local time.

Norway enters the competition as a clear favorite, led by skiers Emil Iversen, Martin Löwström Nyenget, Einar Hedegart, and renowned athlete Johannes Hösflot Kläbo, who previously won the Olympic gold in 2018 in Pyeongchang. However, the previous Olympics in Beijing saw the Russian Olympic Committee team outperform Norway, adding an element of intrigue to the upcoming race. With ten teams competing, Norway will face stiff competition from Switzerland, Sweden, France, Canada, Italy, the USA, Germany, Finland, and the Czech Republic, making the race highly competitive and anticipated.

Additionally, it is noteworthy that Estonia will not be participating in the men's relay for the first time since 1992 due to the Olympic exclusion, marking a significant moment for Estonian sports. This absence highlights the challenges smaller nations face in Olympic competitions and the evolving landscape of international sports.
