You can tune in to your TV or online streaming platform at 5:45 am ET to watch this amazing event. And if you are an American fan, it is time to show support for Gus Schumacher, who has been phenomenal and is hoping to break into the top ten in cross-country freestyle skiing.

Men's Biathlon 10km Sprint
If you love fast-paced events, Men's Biathlon is for you. The event will start at 8:00 am ET. Here, the athletes must balance high-intensity skiing with the calm focus required for rifle shooting in the range. For Americans, all the hopes lie on Campbell Wright, who has immense potential to reach the podium, only if he shoots cleanly and with composure. Christian Gow is another North American from Canada, with years of Veteran experience that might come in handy for the Canadian team.
Women's Snowboard Cross Finals
The USA is not only dominating in the men's category but also has legendary contenders in the Women's Snowboard Cross Finals, which will start at 8:41 am ET. Snowboard Cross is often called "NASCAR on snow" because of frequent physical contact and high speeds as four riders race simultaneously. The USA will rely heavily on Lindsey Jacobellis, who is looking to defend her status as a global icon. Canada's Meryeta O’Dine will try to ensure that she finishes on the podium.
Men's speed Skating 10,000m
For the love of endurance, the 10,000m speed skating category is for those who love grueling races on the oval rink. It requires skaters to finish 25 laps on the ice. The event will start right at 10:00 am ET, so you can grab your breakfast and watch USA skater Casey Dawson exhibiting his technical stamina. On the other hand, Canada’s Graeme Fish is another delight to watch for Canadians and a major threat to other contenders.
Men's Figure Skating Free State

The last medal match would be the terrifying Skeleton final, where players slide head-first down an icy chute at very high speed. It would start at 3:05 pm ET and feature Austin Florian from the USA, the most consistent slider this season, and a strong medal hope. When it comes to ice, nobody can match Canada's rich history.
