How to Watch

Despite impressive showings from Norway and Italy so far, the United States still has a pathway to the top of the leaderboard with plenty of intense events on Wednesday, February 18.
The action kicks off with a re-airing of the women’s figure skating short program, which took place on February 17 — featuring the “Blade Angels” — and continues with lots of opportunities for Team USA to collect medals in events like ski jumping, snowboard slopestyle, and cross-country skiing.
However, all eyes will be on Team USA’s quarterfinal men’s hockey matchup at 3:10 p.m. ET. Is the United States destined for a showdown with their Canadian rivals in the gold medal game? Only time will tell, and the road to the gold begins on Wednesday!
