Today at 16:30, ETV and the ERR sports portal will broadcast live the last men's relay race of the season, featuring a 4 x 7.5 km race in Kontiolahti. The commentary will be provided by Ivar Lepik and Karel Kulbin. A total of 22 teams will compete in this final event, among them Estonia, represented by athletes Rene Zahkna, Kristo Siimer, Mark-Markos Kehva, and Mehis Udam. The relay race is an exciting culmination of the season's events, showcasing the strengths of various national teams.

The Estonian team began the season with an 11th place finish in Östersund, followed by two 8th place finishes in Hochfilzen and Oberhof. Their strongest performance came with a 5th place finish in Ruhpolding. However, their participation in the Milano Cortina Olympic Games resulted in a 13th place finish, falling short of their expectations. The upcoming relay in Kontiolahti is a chance for the team to conclude the season on a high note and gain momentum for future competitions.

Throughout the season, the men's relay races have seen dominant performances primarily from Norway and France. Norway won the first three World Cup stages, but France emerged victorious in Ruhpolding and also clinched gold at the Milano Cortina Olympics. Sweden has been a strong competitor, securing third places across the events. The competition in Kontiolahti promises to be intense, as teams look to make a final impact before the season wraps up.
