The primetime television coverage on NBC will mostly be tape-delayed stuff from earlier in the day, like the women’s 1500-meter and men’s 1000-meter short track finals, both of which will be held before 8 a.m. ET. You can stream those events live, though, at NBC Olympics.
Other events from the early morning on Saturday include the women’s skeleton finals, the women’s 12.5-kilometer mass start biathlon and the men’s individual large hill ski jumping final rounds. All of those will be on before 7 a.m, and stand a chance of being recapped on NBC in primetime later on in the evening. Don’t forget men’s hockey either. USA will meet the Russian athletes at 7:10 a.m. (live stream).
That primetime coverage begins at 8 p.m. and will run for about three hours. NBC’s televised coverage can be viewed on FuboTV, as well.
What medals are up for grabs?
The only medal up for grabs in the evening is in the men’s Alpine skiing giant slalom, despite other medal events showing on tape delay.
