PM OLYMPIAD: Johanna Talihärm, who completed her last Olympic run, eagerly awaits the election results

Estonian biathlete Johanna Talihärm finished 14th in her final Olympic race and is now looking forward to the results of the IOC Athletes' Commission elections.

Johanna Talihärm, the anchor for the Estonian biathlon team, concluded her Olympic career at the Milan-Cortina Olympics by finishing 14th in the 4x6 km relay event. This marks a significant milestone in her career, having participated in her last Olympic competition. After years of dedicated training and competition, her performance in this event will be remembered as a testament to her commitment to the sport and to her national team.

Following her Olympic debut, Talihärm is now focused on the upcoming election results for the International Olympic Committee (IOC) Athletes' Commission. Her interest in the elections highlights her ongoing engagement with the sport even after her competitive career has ended. The results of these elections could have implications for the representation of athletes' voices within the IOC, emphasizing the importance of athlete advocacy in the decision-making processes of the Olympic movement.

As one of the prominent figures in Estonian biathlon, Talihärm's transition from athlete to an advocate can serve as an inspiration for younger athletes looking to contribute to the sport beyond their competitive years. The upcoming IOC election results could signify a shift in how athletes engage with the Olympic community, potentially leading to increased involvement in governance and policymaking within the Olympic framework.
