Olympics live stream: Watch men’s speedskating team pursuit finals

Here’s how you can watch the finals of the Olympic men’s speedskating team pursuit online or by live stream.

It’s time for the men’s speedskating team pursuit finals! What is the team pursuit? Much like in cycling, the team pursuit in speedskating involves two teams of three, both skating on the inside track starting on opposite sides of the rink until one overtakes the other, or they reach the allotted distance.

It should not surprise you that the Netherlands is the gold medal favorite. Norway — a country that has already won a record number of medals during the Pyeongchang Games — is expected to win silver and Canada is thought to take bronze.

Team USA’s men’s team did not make it past the quarterfinal — finishing with the slowest time of the eight teams. USA speedskating has been in a rut and, at this point, the speedskating events are all but a wash for the team.

NBC will broadcast the men’s team pursuit final in real time online by live stream, along with the women’s team pursuit final that takes place during the same time slot. Medalists will be announced immediately after the races with symbolic stuffed tigers but the medals themselves will be awarded off-site at a later time.
