Today at 15:00, ETV and ERR's sports portal will begin live coverage of the men's mass start biathlon event taking place at the Milan Cortina Olympics. The event will feature commentary from Tarmo Tiisler and Margus Ader, with reporter Ivar Lepik providing updates on the race. The mass start will see 30 athletes competing, though there are no Estonian participants among them.

Several major competitors are expected to perform well, particularly the French athletes Eric Perrot, Quentin Fillon Maillet, and Emilien Jacquelin. Notable athletes from Norway, including Sturla Holm Lægreid, Johannes Dale-Skjevdal, Vetle Sjaastad Christiansen, and Johan-Olav Botn, are also in pursuit of medals. Meanwhile, the Swedish contingent is counting on the expertise of Olympic pursuit winner Martin Ponsiluoma and Sebastien Samuelsson.

Italian athlete Tommaso Giacomel, despite having shown excellent results in the current World Cup season, will face a critical challenge as this is his last opportunity to earn a medal at his home Olympics. American hopes lean on Campbell Wright to potentially feature prominently in the race. This championship season has already featured two mass start events, setting the stage for an exciting competition ahead.
