Latvian skier Eiduka commented on her performance, stating that while there is always room for improvement, she finds her 13th place finish to be satisfactory, highlighting the importance of earning each position in competitive events. Fellow skier Auziņa shared her joy over her results despite experiencing a fall during her first round and noted that athletes must be prepared to react to all situations. Looking ahead, both skiers are focused on recuperating before an upcoming 50-kilometer race planned for Sunday, underlining their commitment to competing in further events following the Olympics.

Despite promising performances, the Latvian men's duo did not reach the finals, finishing in 17th place.
