Winter Olympics fans will see the debut of the women’s monobob live during NBC’s Saturday primetime coverage of Beijing.

American bobsledders Elena Meyers Taylor and Kaillie Humphries are representing Team USA in the sport, which features a solo bobsled driver racing 70 mph down the ice without someone to handle the brakes. Taylor has dominated the sport, but is coming off a week where she was forced to isolate after testing positive for COVID-19 on Jan. 29.

Here’s more detail on monobob from the Associated Press:

Monobob’s Olympic debut brings several new wrinkles to a sport that’s been on the Olympic program since 1924. Not only are competitors sliding alone, but they’re doing so in standardized sleds provided by organizers, making the discipline a purer test of athleticism and skill while removing the advantage gained by teams using aerospace science to perfect their vehicles.

The men’s giant slalom event will also get underway Saturday in primetime, and is expected to feature three-time Olympian Tommy Ford and Ryan Cochran-Siegle, who just won a silver medal in Super-G. The giant slalom is scheduled to begin at 9:15 p.m. and will air live on NBC, with the second and final round airing around 1 a.m. Sunday.

There’s also men’s curling, with the United States taking on rival Canada at 8 p.m. live on CNBC.
