Estonian Olympic Committee recognises MMA as a sport Friday, 7 May 2021
The Estonian Mixed Martial Arts Federation (EMMAF) has been accepted as a member of the Estonian Olympic Committee (EOC), with mixed martial arts (MMA) being recognised as a sport in Estonia.
EMMAF Board member Ott Tõnissaar expressed his delight after more than a decade of aiming for national recognition. I am pleased to say, that after more than 15 years of work we can say that we are here to stay, as the EMMAF yesterday became a fully-fledged member of the EOC, said Tõnissaar. This means that MMA is now a Government recognised sport in Estonia and the EMMAF is its sole, national representative.

TALLINN: The year 2020 was an extraordinary year for the Estonian film industry. The coronavirus pandemic had a devastating effect on the industry and cinema attendance all over Europe. However, on the positive side, the local market share of Estonian films rose to a record high, garnering 26.72% of the total number of cinema admissions. The per capita rate of cinema going in Estonia was still relatively healthy at 1.35.
The most watched film was Christopher Nolan’s
Tenet, which was partly filmed in Estonia. For most of the year, Estonia kept its cinemas open, with special security measures and conditions of keeping cinema halls half full.
