Alpine Skiing

Tonight the men’s downhill competition is set to get underway after it was postponed because of high winds Feb. 10, while Mikaela Shiffrin is set to finally make her PyeongChang debut in the women’s giant slalom after that event was also postponed.

Here are Wednesday's can't-miss events:

Figure skating pairs event concludes

Married figure skating couple Alexa Scimeca Knierim and Chris Knierim are finishing up their pairs skating competition. After scoring 65.55 points in the short program last night and placing in 14th place, they are unlikely to medal.

Gold medal hockey rematch

The U.S women's team lost the gold medal to Canada in Sochi and have never let that moment leave their minds. The U.S and Canadian women's teams are off to a hot start in the tournament, both having wins over Finland and OAR under their belt. Both teams have already clinched a spot in the semifinals. The two teams will meet tonight in a rematch at 10:10p.m. This could very well be a preview of what the gold medal game could look like come next week. Stream the game live here.

Luge doubles begins

Germany's "Two Tobis," Tobias Arlt and Tobias Wendl, will race to defend their gold medal in doubles luge. Team USA has two pairs in the doubles luge event: Matt Mortensen and Jayson Terdiman along with Justin Krewson and Andrew Sherk.

Men's skeleton begins

Matt Antoine and John Daly are representing Team USA in the men's skeleton event. Antoine and Daly were both in contention for the bronze medal in Sochi, with Antoine ultimately winning. The skeleton event includes four runs spread out between two days. The four times are added together, and the fastest total time determines the winner.

Women's 1000m speed skating

The Dutch so far have dominated speed skating and will try to maintain their sweep of gold medals with the women's 1,000m final. Heather Bergsma is the reigning world champion in the 1,000m and will be Team USA's best chance at breaking their streak. Brittany Bowe and Jerica Tandiman will also represent the U.S. in the race.
