NBC Olympics TV and streaming schedule for Feb. 6
Highlighting action Sunday is women’s ice hockey and giant slalom skiing, and the men's downhill skiing that was rescheduled due to high winds.
Sunday’s action at the Winter Olympics in Beijing is highlighted by women’s ice hockey, the giant slalom, and several team figure skating events.
Two-time Olympic gold medalist Mikaela Shiffrin, the most successful skier in World Cup history, is expected to compete in the women’s giant slalom Sunday night at 7 p.m. on NBC. It is the first of potentially five events for Shiffrin in Beijing after winning gold medals in Sochi and Pyeongchang.
Three team figure skating programs will also air live in prime time on NBC Sunday night: women’s free skate, pairs’ free skate, and free dance. And USA Network will have the rescheduled men’s downhill skiing at 11 p.m., after it was postponed a day because of high winds on the course.
