No Olympic medals for Team Estonia

It was a disappointing year for Team Estonia at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris. For the first time since 1996, Estonia failed to secure a single medal at the Summer Olympics. Female fencer Nelli Differt was the closest to achieving a medal, finishing 4th in the women's épée final. There were high hopes for 400m hurdler Rasmus Mägi who, for his third consecutive Olympics Games, managed to reach the men's final, but unfortunately stumbled on the last hurdle and finished 7th place. Despite Estonia's lack of medals, the athletes should feel proud of their achievements as many of them now rank among the top ten in the world in their respective events.
