LIVE BLOG: How is Regina Ermits doing in the last MK race of the season?

Regina Ermits competes in the last race of the IBU Biathlon World Cup season in Oslo, where she aims to improve her standing in the overall rankings.

Today's competitions in Oslo mark the conclusion of the IBU Biathlon World Cup series for the season, featuring a women's 12.5 km mass start race that includes Estonian biathlete Regina Ermits. Postimees will provide a live blog starting at 14:45 to cover the event as Ermits competes, fighting for a better position in the overall standings. Currently ranked 24th with 278 points, she is set to start with bib number 22, having previously participated in three mass start races this season.

Ermits's recent performances have shown her gradual improvement; she finished 17th in Le Grand Bornand, 19th in Nove Mesto, and 13th in Kontiolahti earlier this season. These results reflect her growing competence in the competitive landscape of the World Cup, where only the top 30 athletes qualify for the mass start events. The overall victory of the series has been claimed by French biathlete Lou Jeanmonnot, with standout competitors like Swedish athletes Hanna and Elvira Γ–berg following closely behind in the rankings.

In addition to the women's race, a men's 15 km mass start will also take place later in the day, though no Estonian athletes will be competing in that event. As the season wraps up, the outcomes of today’s races will provide insights into the athletes' developments and their future prospects in professional biathlon, underscoring the fierce competition and the drive for excellence in this demanding sport.
