NBC HIGHLIGHTS (Primetime):

Women’s Alpine Skiing – Super-G Gold Medal Final: Julia Mancuso will be looking to add an Olympic medal to the three world championships medals she already has in this event. Slovenian star Tina Maze and Swiss sensation Lara Gut should also be contenders.

Men’s Short Track – 1000m Gold Medal Final: This is arguably the best event for top American J.R. Celski, who rebounded from suffering a seven-inch gash in his leg at the Vancouver Olympic Trials to win two bronze medals at those Games. Celski will be challenged by Canadian star Charles Hamelin and 28-year-old Viktor Ahn, who skates for Russia eight years after winning three gold medals in Torino for his native South Korea as Ahn Hyun-Soo.

Men’s Speed Skating – 1500m Gold Medal Final: Two-time 1500m silver medalist Shani Davis will be looking for his first title in his favorite distance, also known as the Race of Kings. Watch as the 31-year-old from Chicago goes for the crown.

Men’s Ski Jumping – Individual K-125 Large Hill Gold Medal Final: Current World Cup leader Kamil Stoch won the normal hill event Sunday, becoming the first Polish ski jumper to win gold in 42 years. Stoch looks for his second gold medal in the K-125, where he is the reigning world champion. The last man to sweep the individual medals could be a threat as well, as Switzerland’s Simon Ammann tries to recapture the magic he demonstrated at the 2002 and 2010 Winter Games.

Men’s Skeleton – Competition: The U.S. will have two experienced competitors LIVE in this event with 2010 Olympian John Daly, the son of a retired FDNY paramedic from Long Island, and Wisconsin native Matt Antoine, who just missed out on a spot at the Vancouver Games but is currently having a breakout season with several podium appearances. After the first two of four runs, Daly sits in third, while Antoine is in fourth.

NBC HIGHLIGHTS (Daytime):

Women’s Cross-Country – 4x5km Relay Gold Medal Final: Norway, led by star training mates Marit Bjorgen and Therese Johaug, is the clear favorite. Kikkan Randall and the U.S. team impressed with a fourth-place finish at the 2013 World Championships, but must outpace the likes of Sweden, Finland and Russia to reach the podium in Sochi.

NBCSN HIGHLIGHTS:

Men’s Hockey – USA vs. Russia: A storied Olympic rivalry is renewed as Team USA skates LIVE against host Russia. The teams’ rivalry dates to the Soviet Union’s first appearance at the Winter Games in 1956, when the Soviets defeated the Americans en route to their first gold. From 1956-92, the Soviet Union and Unified Team won eight of the 10 Olympic hockey tournaments, with U.S. upsets of the Soviets in 1960 and 1980 the lone exceptions. Russia has so far been unable to carry on the legacy, missing out on gold in its five appearances.

Women’s Cross-Country – 4x5km Relay Gold Medal Final (LIVE): Norway, led by star training mates Marit Bjorgen and Therese Johaug, is the clear favorite.
