LISTEN TODAY | "Võimla" asks: what has been the biggest experience of the winter Olympics so far?

The Estonian broadcast "Võimla" reflects on the disappointing performances of the Estonian team at the Winter Olympics, inviting listeners to share their biggest experiences from the event.

With less than a week left until the conclusion of the Winter Olympics, the Estonian team has faced more setbacks than successes, according to the latest episode of "Võimla." Hosts Tarmo Tiisler and Juhan Kilumets discuss the team’s challenges, including the failure of speed skater Marten Liiv to break into the top ten and the generally disappointing performance of biathletes, who have secured very few spots in the top rankings. This raises the pressing question of whether any athlete besides Kristjan Ilves can step up to redeem the team's reputation at these games.

In this broadcast, the hosts reflect on how expectations might have been set too high for the Estonian representatives in Milan-Cortina, especially after past performances that hinted at potential success. The conversation includes insights from Olympic reporters Johannes Vedru and Ivar Lepik, who weigh in on the overall atmosphere and press coverage surrounding the Estonian athletes. Listeners are encouraged to engage by sharing their own memorable moments from the Winter Olympics through comments on social media.

"Võimla" serves as a platform not only to discuss sports but also to foster community engagement among listeners, asking them to reflect on their favorite experiences from the Winter Olympics. This episode highlights the emotional investment that fans have in their athletes and the broader implications of team morale in competitive sports during such high-stakes events.
