Olympic Trials 2013-14: Key Dates for Team USA's Winter Games Selection Process

The United States Winter Olympic Team will continue preparation for January's 2014 Sochi Games with several notable team trials in the coming months.

With the 2014 Winter Olympics scheduled to begin on Feb. 7 in Sochi, Russia, the clock is ticking as Team USA looks to determine which athletes will represent the Stars and Stripes in Eurasia next year.

The best part is that NBC and the NBC Sports Network will televise more than 34 hours of team trials, per NBC Sports PR on Twitter:

Below, we'll get you set with key dates for this winter's U.S. Olympic Trials.

U.S. Curling Trials

When: Sunday, Nov. 10 through Sunday, Nov. 17

Where: Scheels Arena, Fargo, N.D.

Nine teams will compete in Fargo at the U.S. Olympic Team Trials for curling. Four women's teams will square off while five men's teams will be in action. 

The teams will open up with round-robin play in the early part of the week before beginning the final round on Friday. Both the men's and women's finals could conclude as early as Saturday, but a third matchup for each could be scheduled for Sunday, if needed.

U.S. Nordic Combined, Ski Jumping Trials

When: Friday, Dec. 27 through Sunday, Dec. 29

Where: Park City, Utah

The U.S. Nordic Combined Ski Team will look to build on its success following an impressive showing at the 2010 Winter Games in Vancouver. Four Americans reached the podium in 2010, as Team USA earned its first-ever Olympic medals in the sport.

As a result, there'll be plenty of attention on the U.S Ski Team in Sochi.

The trials are scheduled to run during the final weekend of December and will be held in Utah.

U.S. Speed Skating Trials 

When: Friday, Dec. 27 through Sunday, Jan. 5

Where: Utah Olympic Oval, Kearns, Utah

Both the U.S. Long-Track and Short-Track Speed Skating Teams will head to Kearns, Utah, for their respective Olympic Team Trials. The long-track team will kick things off two days after Christmas while short-track trials will begin a day after New Year's.

There'll be plenty of star power on display in the long-track trials, highlighted by four-time Olympic medalist Shani Davis, who is the two-time reigning Olympic gold medalist in the 1,000 meters.

Meanwhile, the short-track team will look to shine without well-known Apolo Anton Ohno to lead them. The future appears bright despite Ohno's departure, though, as this year's unit is both young and talented.
