NBCUniversal’s Programming for Day 10 of the XXII Olympic Winter Games

Now we’re into the final week of the 2014 Sochi Games.

First, Bob Costas returns to his traditional hosting post after being out for six days. He’ll host both Olympic Primetime and Late Night.

As you can see, Bob was preparing for his return on Sunday at the Sochi International Broadcast Center. So after NBC tapped Matt Lauer and Meredith Vieira as substitutes, Bob will be back in his rightful place as primetime host.

Medals will be handed out in Free Dance as Ice Dancing World Champions Meryl Davis and Charlie White of the United States hope to keep their lead from Sunday’s short dance.

The two-man bobsled has its final two runs with U.S. gold medalist Steve Holcomb firmly in third and hoping to leap-frog Switzerland and Russia.

In women’s hockey, Team USA has a semifinal game against Sweden and hopes to advance to the gold medal game for a potential rematch with Canada.

Speaking of Canada, they will face Switzerland.

In addition, there’s the men’s snowboard cross competition, freestyle skiing aerials, curling and the biathlon.

Here’s the breakdown of coverage on the networks of NBCUniversal.
