Kristo Tohver, secretary general of the Estonian Olympic Committee (EOK), shared insights with ERR about the forthcoming evaluation of Estonia's Olympic team. As the year ends, EOK, in collaboration with various sports associations, will assess the performance and potential of athletes following the recent Olympic Games in Milan. Tohver expressed pride in the team, particularly emphasizing the success of athlete Henry Sildaru, who secured the only medal for Estonia at the Milan Cortina games.

Reflecting on the emotional rollercoaster of the last few days, Tohver highlighted that the evaluation process aims to better understand the potential future success of Estonia's athletes. He noted that while the achievements at the Olympics indicate significant potential, it is essential to scrutinize how well the various sports federations are preparing their teams for upcoming competitions. The main discussion centers around the capabilities of athletes and the support structure in place to enhance their performance.

Tohver emphasized that whilst he prefers not to give specific grades on the athletes' performances, it is evident that Estonia has talented individuals who can compete at high levels. The situation calls for a strategic approach to harness this potential effectively and ensure that athletes are adequately supported by their federations during training and competition. The ultimate goal is to bridge the gap between raw potential and tangible success in future Olympic events.
