The Estonian Olympic Committee (EOK) officially unveiled 11 promising young athletes on Friday who have been selected to receive stipends under its new youth development programme, 'Team Estonia Noored Tähed' (Young Stars). The announcement ceremony was held at Ülemiste Sportland in Tallinn.

The programme is designed to identify and support the next generation of Estonian Olympic talent, providing financial backing and structured preparation to help young competitors reach elite level. The 11 selected athletes represent a range of sporting disciplines and were chosen based on their potential to represent Estonia on the international stage in the years ahead.
