LIVE BLOG ⟩ Are Estonia's female biathletes outperforming the men?

Postimees is live blogging the women's 4 x 6 km relay event featuring Estonia's biathlon team at the Milano Cortina Olympics, amidst mixed results this season.

At the Milano Cortina Olympics, the women's biathlon program continues with the 4 x 6 km relay, where Estonia is represented by Regina Ermits, Susan Külm, Tuuli Tomingas, and Johanna Talihärm. Postimees will provide a live blog following the event scheduled to start at 15:45. Prior to the competition, expectations were high for the women's relay team as they had placed fourth at the World Championships two years ago and demonstrated good results last season. However, the Olympic season has not gone well, with the team struggling to secure better placements, achieving only 15th in their best performance across four races.

The outlook appears less optimistic with Tuuli Tomingas, who has been facing significant challenges this season, and though Regina Ermits has risen to the top position, her performances have not been standout, with her best result in the standard distance being 50th place. On a positive note, Susan Külm found her rhythm in the previous competition, finishing 22nd in the 10 km pursuit, while Johanna Talihärm has shown improvement at the Olympics compared to the first half of the season. The men's relay team placed 13th in their competition held the previous day, further highlighting the ups and downs faced by Estonia's biathlon teams at these Olympics.
