If you haven’t caught curling fever yet, you’ve got just the excuse to catch the bug. The United States will be going for the gold medal in the mixed doubles event vs. Sweden this afternoon. Granted there’s not much history there, but if a bitter rivalry is what you crave then look no further than the United States’ women’s hockey team looking to close its perfect run through the preliminaries with a grudge match against the squad’s biggest rival — Canada.
Tuesday will also feature a return to the slopes, where Americans Mikaela Shiffrin and Breezy Johnson trying to reach the podium in the women’s team downhill slalom event that Lindsey Vonn was also attempting to take part in before Sunday’s horrific crash. In true Monday morning quarterback fashion, there has been a debate over whether Vonn should have even attempted to fix skis after she tore her ACL two weeks ago. Vonn may be 41, but her father has already weighed in with when he expects to see her race next.
The Milan Cortina Games will run through Sunday, Feb. 22, and in total of 119 events will take place with 245 medals handed out to the athletes. Fans can find the action on NBC and their streaming service Peacock, with an account or a cable login.
The Winter Games have eight main sports, with 16 disciplines. With so many events to keep up with, it can get overwhelming, but that’s where we step in.
