It will not be broadcast on TV live, but it will be live streamed by NBC Olympics right here.
The Netherlands took all three podium spots in the 3,000-meter speedskating event and will be hoping that domination can continue in Monday’s event. Heather Bergsma is the one to watch for the United States, as she’s the best hope of earning the country’s first speedskating medal of Pyeongchang.
Bergsma won a pair of world titles and three medals total last season, including the gold in the 1,500-meter. She’s the world record holder in the event. She will also participate in the 500-meter, 1,000-meter and mass start events.
Other American women in the event are Brittany Bowe and Mia Manganello. Bowe earned medals in the 500-, 1,000- and 1,500-meter at the 2016 World Championships.
The Netherlands are the top contenders, obviously. Ireen Wuest and Lotte van Beek are the two to watch on that front.
Below is all you need to know to watch.
