NBC HIGHLIGHTS (Primetime):

  • Figure Skating Team Event – Ladies’ Free Skate, Free Dance: The first-ever medals for figure skating’s new team event will be handed out following the ladies’ free skate and the free dance. Reigning U.S. champion Gracie Gold is expected to make her Olympic debut in the ladies’ free skate for Team USA, with reigning world ice dance champions Meryl Davis and Charlie White expected in the free dance. The competition favors the most well-rounded skating countries, meaning the fight for the podium will be fierce among the United States, Canada, and host country Russia on the event’s final night.
  • Men’s Alpine Skiing – Downhill Gold Medal Final: Skiing’s signature race covers two miles in two minutes and has been won by two Americans. Bode Miller, the most decorated U.S. Olympic skier of all time, would like to become the third after winning bronze in Vancouver. The 36-year-old Miller will have to contend with a deep field of rivals, led by Norway’s Aksel Lund Svindal, the 2010 Olympic silver medalist and reigning world champion.
  • Women’s Snowboarding – Slopestyle Gold Medal Final: South Lake Tahoe’s Jamie Anderson is favored to win the first gold medal as women’s slopestyle makes its Olympic debut. The 23-year-old avid environmentalist has been the dominant figure in the event in recent years.
  • Men’s Ski Jumping – Individual K-95 Gold Medal Final: At just 24, Austrian star Gregor Schlierenzauer is already being called one of ski jumping’s all-time greats, but is still in search of his first individual Olympic gold medal. Swiss rival Simon Ammann, who has broadened his aerial skillset by earning his pilot’s license since sweeping the individual events for a second time in Vancouver, could also be in the hunt.

  • Women’s Speed Skating – 3000m Gold Medal Final: Germany’s Claudia Pechstein looks to win her fourth Olympic medal in this event, 20 years after her first. Another medal would give the 41-year old 10 for her career, tying the all-time Olympic Winter Games women’s record.
