WATCH LIVE | Can the Estonian curling pair qualify for the Paralympics?
Estonia's mixed curling pair is competing in the final round of the qualification tournament for the Milano Cortina Paralympic Games.
The Estonian mixed curling duo of Kätlin Riidebach and Ain Villau is under pressure as they face South Korea's team of Hyejin Baek and Yongsuk Lee in the final round of the round robin tournament for wheelchair curling at the Milano Cortina Paralympic Games. As the last day of the tournament approaches, Estonia currently holds a record of two wins and four losses, placing them seventh among eight competing teams. Only the top four teams will advance to the semifinals, with China already secured a spot due to an undefeated record.
The competition is intense, with Great Britain, Japan, South Korea, Latvia, and the USA all vying for the semifinals alongside Estonia. To increase their chances of qualification, Estonia needs to win against South Korea and also hope for favorable outcomes in matches involving Italy against Great Britain and China against the USA. Estonia's current position gives them a fighting chance, but it heavily relies on both their performance and other teams' results.
Live coverage of the match can be accessed on ETV2 and the ERR sports portal, starting at 15:30 local time. The commentators Aet Süvari and Karl Kukner will provide insights during the event, underscoring the high stakes for the Estonian team as they aim for a chance at Paralympic glory.
