More than 90 countries will send roughly 2,900 athletes to compete in the PyeongChang Olympics. There are 102 events – most in Olympic history – including four making their debuts: big air snowboarding, mass start speedskating, mixed doubles curling and a mixed team event in Alpine skiing.

Two-hundred forty-three athletes will represent the United States. There are 135 men and 108 women, the closest the team has come to parity at the Winter Games.

NBC paid nearly $1 billion for broadcast rights, and events will be shown on the parent network as well as NBC Sports Network, CNBC, USA and the Olympic Channel. Live-streaming of all events is available at NBCOlympics.com or via the NBC app.

There is a 14-hour time difference. Events listed here are those shown on that particular day in Eastern Standard Time.

(Events in the TV listings are tape-delayed unless indicated as LIVE. OAR is Olympic Athletes from Russia.)

What to watch: The U.S. women’s hockey team compete for an elusive gold medal with a match against Olympic Athletes from Russia. Mikaela Shiffrin takes on the slalom course again, and Reston’s Maame Biney makes her Olympic debut in short-track speedskating.

Mirai Nagasu, 24, competed in Vancouver eight years ago. Bradie Tennell, 20, and Karen Chen, 18, make their Olympic debuts.

What to watch: Can a skier be considered an all-time great without an Olympic gold medal? Marcel Hirscher of Austria thinks so, but he’ll try to add one to his résumé in the slalom. American David Wise defends his freestyle halfpipe gold medal. The U.S. women, led by Jessie Diggins, have a chance to break a medal drought in cross-country skiing in the team sprint event. Elana Meyers Taylor and Jamie Greubel Poser, medalists in Sochi four years ago, are back to lead their teams in the two-man bobsled. The Dutch could add to their speedskating medal haul with golds in the men’s and women’s team pursuit, but Japan is a favorite in the women’s event, and New Zealand – with just one Winter Olympics medal ever – could find the podium in the men’s.
