One set of medals — in the alpine skiing women’s downhill — will be awarded in primetime at the 2018 Winter Olympics on Tuesday, and the women’s figure skating competition will get underway. The primetime block begins at 8 p.m. ET on NBC and runs through around 11:30 p.m.

Live streaming will be available via NBC Olympics and a simulcast of the NBC coverage will be streaming on FuboTV.

In the downhill, Lindsey Vonn is trying to earn her second gold in the event. But the best chance for a United States medal might have been Mikaela Shiffrin... before she pulled out of the event. Vonn, 33, has her work cut out for her.

The women’s figure skating should be a great watch. It’s the first of two events, the short program, which preceded the free skate, or long program. Bradie Tennell, Mirai Nagasu, and Karen Chen are the names to watch for the United States, though the consensus is that Evgenia Medvedeva, an Olympic Athlete from Russia, is going to win the gold.

It’s not a medal event — at least not on Tuesday — but the qualifying for the men’s snowboarding big air competition will also begin during the programming block. The only even that will be tape delayed as part of it are the first and second runs from the women’s bobsled.

Below is all you need to know to watch on Tuesday.
