Live Olympics Coverage On TV Today Wednesday Feb 12th

I love the Olympics!! I look forward to it every 2 years and the winter games are in full effect. The only thing I hate about the coverage is that since it’s in Sochi and we all work we can’t watch it live. Then there are the news outlets that report the winners before we even have the chance to see the replay’s on prime time TV. I have started DVRing the coverage so I can watch it when I get home from work. Here are a couple of the big events that will be on TV live on the NBC sister stations.

• The men's 1000-meter Speed Skating race starts at 8:00 a.m. Shani Davis took the gold medal in this event in 2006 and then defended his title in 2010. If he wins again this year, it will be his third straight Olympic gold.
• The free skating portion of Pairs Figure Skating starts at 9:45 a.m. They'll add tonight's score to the scores from last night's short program. We have two couples in it, but they're down in 9th and 14th place going into this.
• The Ladies' Halfpipe begins at 11:30 a.m. This is Hannah Teter's event. She won the snowboarding gold in 2006 and silver in 2010.
• The Women's Downhill event starts at 1:00 p.m. Julia Mancuso is trying to medal again in it. She took home the silver in this event in 2010. So far this year, she's already won a bronze in the combined slalom.

If you prefer to watch it in prime time tonight it starts at 7pm on NBC.
