In the recent sprint qualification round, the Lithuanian duo of Eglė Savickaitė and Ieva Dainytė competed in two stages, with Eglė finishing the 1.5 km course in 3 minutes and 43.94 seconds, placing 40th overall. Ieva followed her partner, completing the course in 3 minutes and 54.59 seconds, marking a time that was 11 seconds slower than Eglė, resulting in a 44th place finish. The combined performance of the two skiers earned them a 22nd place finish among all competing pairs, surpassing teams from South Korea, Argentina, Hungary, and Greece.

A notable moment occurred during the competition when a dog unexpectedly ran onto the track just as an athlete from Australia crossed the finish line, leading to a light-hearted photo finish with the dog also appearing in the frame. The qualification round saw 15 pairs advancing to the final stages, and while the Lithuanians did not qualify, their performance was commendable, especially against other countries, with both Latvia and Estonia qualifying for the finals, placing 12th and 13th respectively. The participation highlights the growing presence of Baltic nations in international skiing events, showcasing talent and competitive spirit despite not making it to the final rounds themselves.
