Margus Ader, a biathlon expert, analyzed the performances of Estonian biathletes at the recent Milano Cortina Olympics, expressing a mix of disappointment and cautious optimism. He noted that while the overall representation of Estonian biathletes, including both men's and women's teams, was positive, the results were less than stellar, particularly in skiing events where the athletes struggled. Ader also pointed out that Susan Külm's 22nd place finish in the pursuit race was the only genuinely positive outcome among the team's performances.

Ader emphasized that the expectations heading into the Olympic season were higher based on previous performances, suggesting that the athletes had the potential to achieve better results. However, he acknowledged that as the season began in late November, the athletes needed to be in peak physical condition, which they evidently did not maintain long enough for the Olympic competition. This situation resulted in underwhelming results, causing concern among fans and analysts alike regarding the team's preparedness and overall strategic planning.

The discussion ultimately brought attention to the importance of investing in infrastructure and training to enhance the performance of Estonian biathletes in future competitions. Ader's insights shed light on the need for improved physical foundations and planning to ensure that the athletes can meet the rigorous demands of Olympic-level competition in the future, making it clear that these reflections are crucial for the growth of the sport in Estonia.
