With the Winter Games now officially underway in PyeongChang, South Korea, some of the biggest events are, of course, the ice skating ones. Thankfully, the 2018 Olympics ice skating events air on NBC if you can't stream them online. This year's Olympic Games will offer fans a front row seat into the matchups of some of the world's greatest competitors and will feature three types of skating: figure skating, short-track speed skating, and long-track speed skating.
Kicking off on the very same day as the game's long awaited opening ceremony on Feb. 9, the first figure skating event got off to a rough start for Team USA. The highly anticipated debut of figure skater Nathan Chen in the men's short program was a less than stellar performance for the 18-year-old Utah native, according to People. Chen took fourth place after falling during the second quad jump in his routine, which left Japan's Shoma Uno as the top finisher in the men's short program. Alexa Scimeca Knierim and Chris Knierim ultimately saved the day for Team USA; although they suffered a slip during their performance, the pair earned fourth place in the pairs short program, which pushed the United States into second place overall in the contest. That said, the fierce competition for this year's gold medal race is certainly going to be one to watch.
The events, which culminate on Feb. 25, will be broadcast on either NBC or the NBC Sports Network, according to CBS Sports. Here's the schedule that ice skating fans won't want to miss. All reported times are in Eastern.
