5 highlights from the past week in Estonia

Last week was an eventful week for Estonia. The Winter Olympic Games commenced in Italy on February 6 and for the first time the event is being hosted in two cities - Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo. The Winter Olympics will run until February 22. Estonians excel at winter sports, especially in events such as crossing-country skiing, ice skating and biathion. It would be great to see Team Estonia come home with a few medals this year!
