Alpine skiing and the Winter Olympics go hand-in-hand, so you’d be foolish to miss out on the action this year.
If there’s a more iconic image of the Winter Olympics, it’s skiing. For a while, someone skiing was used as part of the logo and it’s one of the most easily identifiable winter sports out there.
There are a few different events you can tune in for, depending on your skiing preference. First of all, this isn’t Cross-Country Skiing — those events are in a different section. This is all downhill skiing styles, whether it be slalom, super-G, or combined downhill. All of the styles are different and have different skills required but all of them are compelling to watch.
Here’s the Alpine Skiing schedule, so you can make sure you don’t miss a second of the action:
Note – We’ve converted the time difference, so these are the actual times you the events will air in America. Bolded times are medal events, non-bolded are qualifying events.
