NBC Winter Olympics 2022: Schedule for TV and streaming for Friday, Feb. 18

We’re winding down to the end of the Winter Olympics in Beijing, and there will be a couple medals handed out live during Friday night’s coverage.

The only live event that will air in primetime on NBC Friday is the men’s halfpipe final in freestyle skiing, with coverage starting at 9 p.m. (the event will air in its entirety beginning at 8:30 p.m. on USA Network). Team USA has several medal contenders, including two-time gold-medalist David Wise, three-time Olympian Aaron Blunk, 2018 Olympic silver medalist Alex Ferreira, and 2021 world championship bronze medalist Birk Irving.

Medals will also be awarded in the alpine skiing team event, which is scheduled to begin at 10 p.m. and air on USA Network. Despite her struggles during the Olympics, two-time gold medalist Mikaela Shiffrin will be among the competitors, and if she manages to medal, she’ll tie Julia Mancuso as the most-decorated U.S. women’s alpine skier in Olympic history.

If you want to get up early, set your alarm for 5:30 a.m. to catch the pairs’ figure skating short program, which will air live on USA Network (with an encore in primetime on NBC). The United States will be represented by two teams: Alexa Knierim and Brandon Frazier, and Ashley Cain-Gribble and Timothy LeDuc
