The Women’s 4 x 6 km Relay of the Olympic Biathlon will be on Thursday night in Pyeongchang. Here is how to watch the relay online via live streaming.

Only two events remain in the biathlon at the 2018 Winter Olympic Games in Pyeongchang, South Korea. We are now fully on to the relay portion of the event. With the mixed relay in the books, next up is the women’s 4x6km relay.

It will begin at 6:15 a.m. ET, 8:15 p.m. KT at the Alpensia Biathlon Centre in Pyeongchang. The available live streams can be found on NBCOlympics.com and on FuboTV. Yes, this will be one of the rare biathlon events that will broadcasted live in the United States on television.

Coverage of the women’s 4x6km relay can be seen on NBCSN beginning at 5:20 a.m. ET. It will be run in conjunction with a men’s Nordic combined event. That event feature the men’s large hill and 4x5km cross-country ski race will obviously be shown first. So maybe you can just get up at exactly 6:15 a.m. ET and see the women’s 4x6km relay in its entirety on NBCSN.

Date: Thursday, Feb. 22
Time: 6:15 a.m. ET, 8:15 p.m. KT
Location: Pyeongchang, South Korea
Venue: Alpensia Biathlon Centre
TV Info: NBCSN (5:20 a.m. ET)
Live Stream: NBCOlympics.com, FuboTV

The relays are a bit different than the typical biathlon events we’ve seen thus far. Yes, we’ve seen the mixed relay already, where the two men and two women compete at different lengths. However, this one on Thursday night in Pyeongchang is just four women going six kilometers a piece.

Keep in mind that the shortest individual biathlon event is the women’s 7.5km sprint. That one had a great pace to it, but it did tend to feature a bunch of missed targets. Then again, the biathlon has taken place in the evening local time all Olympics. That doesn’t help in terms of visibility. The snow has picked up later in the evenings in Pyeongchang.

Expect a brisk pace and a ton of competition in the women’s 4x6km relay. Maybe this will be the event that the United States finally takes home an Olympic medal in the biathlon? If this is the case, that could be four gold, silver or bronze medals because this is how being part of a relay works. Be sure to get up bright and early on Thursday to not miss a second of the women’s 4x6km relay.
