The Estonian women's relay team will participate in the 4x6 km event during a biathlon World Cup stage in Kontiolahti, Finland. The live broadcast will begin on ETV and ERR's sports portal at 14:20, featuring commentary from Ivar Lepik and Karel Kulbin. With 20 teams competing, Estonia's team, consisting of Susan Külm, Regina Ermits, Tuuli Tomingas, and anchor Johanna Talihärm, looks to improve upon their previous season results, where they failed to secure a top-ten finish.

So far this season, the Estonian team has placed no higher than 15th in various events, including 17th at Östersund and Hochfilzen, 16th in Oberhof, and 15th in Ruhpolding, their best showing being 14th at the Winter Olympics. Their inconsistent performances raise questions about their potential for success in the current race. Meanwhile, France enters the competition as a leading favorite, having already won events in Östersund, Oberhof, and at the Olympics. The French team, comprised of Camille Bened, Lou Jeanmonnot, Oceane Michelon, and Julia Simon, aims to secure a fourth victory today, intensifying the competitive atmosphere of the event.
