I know Estonia is probably gonna fall out of the top-10 again here, but I find it so awesome that they're this high for a long time in both the men's and women's relay  

Well Johanna (their third) is about as good as the first two. Not sure about their final athlete, she's mostly an IBU-Cup racer.

Yeah, but to be fair, all four Estonian athletes have the 'potential' to suddenly fall back a lot. I really hope it doesn't happen though

Talihaerm was a decent biathlete even when Estonia was far behind the best. I don't worry about her.

Bye bye podium

Yes, 'decent', like there are 50-75 in the World Cup

Well, for a while she was pretty well the only one who could score points (even if only once or twice per season).

Nevermind  probably 3rd place

Meltdown for Gaim.

Estonia 3rd after the 2 first athletes in the women's relay and 9th in the men's ... therefore they will be 6th in the mixed relay : that is undeniable

What a race from our girls Oja and Tomingas did a really good job, especially Tuuli who I have never seen skiing so well before. Talihärm was better last year, easily the best of our girls, now she needs to catch up, but she still did her job. Gaim is sadly not even close to the rest of the team, even without the penalty loops I don't think we had finished higher than maybe 8th.

 

This was Estonia's women's relay's first top 10 since 1993! 26 years! (8 out of 9 teams with 12 minutes loss lol) This clearly is the actual best ever really.
