For a brief moment, thought Oja could catch Bescond as well. 

 

 

Nah, no way Bescond was still going 100% at the end

First ever podium for Estonia in a relay  

 

No idea if they ever had an individual one, I guess so  

 

Ever heard of Kaija Parve?

[Werloc 3,164]

Can't really cheer for Estonia as their men are our definite contenders in our fight for 4 starting positions in the World Cup  Sad they wiped away their deficit with one single-mixed.

If you're just looking for an Estonian flag and not a person than Eveli Saue's 5th place in Hochfilzen 15k individual race from 2006 is the best individual result.

Yeah, I was looking for the best ever Estonian results. All wonderful for Parve, but her results are sadly Soviet results. Thanks, so first ever World Cup podium for Estonia

Roland Lessing was actually 2nd in Pokljuka pursuit in 2009 Only 9 secs. behind Evgeniy Ustyugov. So it wasn't the first podium for

 

They also had a bronze medal in the now forgotten team event in the even more forgotten 1992 World Champs (Rene Zakhna's father was in the team).
