2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics Day 6 TV and Announcer Schedule

For the first time ever at a Winter Olympics, NBC will broadcast Olympic primetime competition live across all time zones. Whether daytime, primetime or “Primetime Plus” (formerly the late night show), all U.S. viewers will be able to watch NBC’s coverage of the XXIII Olympic Winter Games from PyeongChang, South Korea, at the same time.

NBCOlympics.com will offer live streaming of the NBC broadcast network, including primetime and Primetime Plus, and NBCSN will air live primetime coverage, both firsts at a Winter Games.

Highlights of Day 6 Events:

Three men who combined to win every Olympic and world title since 2011 are part of this field in the men’s short program of figure skating — Canadian Patrick Chan, Japan’s Yuzuru Hanyu and Spain’s Javier Fernandez. But American Nathan Chen is the world’s only undefeated male singles skater this season.

Alpine skiing multi-medal threat Mikaela Shiffrin, who in 2014 became the youngest-ever Olympic slalom champion, begins her title defense as the heavy favorite.

Lindsey Jacobellis is one of the greatest winter sports athletes of all time without an Olympic gold medal — winning her last 11 combined X Games and world championships starts since 2007. She memorably gave up 2006 Olympic gold with a trick move on the last jump and crashed out of the 2010 and 2014 Olympic semifinals. Jacobellis will vie for the gold in women’s snowboard cross.

Lake Placid native Andrew Weibrecht eyes a third consecutive Alpine medal in the men’s super-G.

The U.S. enters PyeongChang seeking its first Olympic medal in a women’s Cross-Country event, and a Jessie Diggins-led contingent could achieve that breakthrough in the 10km freestyle. Contenders also include Norwegian star Marit Bjorgen, who continues her quest to become to the most decorated Winter Olympian of all time.

Jessie Diggins leads a strong U.S. contingent in the Cross-Country women’s 10km freestyle, and the Freestyle Skiing women’s aerials event kicks off with qualifying-round jumps.

In Speed Skating, world record-holder Ted-Jan Bloemen of Canada challenges the Dutch duo of Sven Kramer and defending champion Jorrit Bergsma in the men’s 10,000m.

Yun Sung-Bin, known for competing in an Ironman-themed helmet, is likely to earn South Korea’s first non-skating Olympic medal in the skeleton. It could be gold if he can outduel 2010 and 2014 silver medalist Martins Dukurs of Latvia.

Lake Placid native and reigning world champion Lowell Bailey shoots and skis for a Biathlon breakthrough in the men’s 20km individual event; entering PyeongChang, the U.S. has never won an Olympic medal in the sport.

The following are the events including dates, start times, TV networks and announcers. All times Eastern unless otherwise noted.
