NBC Olympics 2026 TV Schedule, Live Stream and Sunday Predictions
While the first events of the 2026 Milano Cortina Games got underway midweek, Friday's opening ceremony officially got things up and running. Saturday featured a full schedule, complete with events in marquee sports like figure skating, ice hockey, and ski jumping.
Saturday also saw the first medal events, with Switzerland's Franjo von Allmen winning the first gold medal of 2026. He won the men's downhill in Alpine Skiing over Giovanni Franzoni and Dominik Paris, both of Italy.
Italy, Japan, and Norway ended Saturday tied atop the medal count, each with one gold and three total.
While Team USA maintained the lead in the team figure skating competition through Saturday, it entered Sunday still searching for its first medal of the 2026 Winter Olympics.
Here's a look at what lies ahead for Sunday.

Preview and Predictions
2 of 2
Sunday's slate will feature 10 medal events, including a couple that should give Team USA a strong chance at reaching the podium. Early in the morning will be the women's downhill final runs, and the Americans appear to have two strong contenders in the field.
Beezy Johnson and Lindsey Vonn of Team USA had the first- and second-best times, respectively, according to Nancy Armour, Payton Titus, and Ellen J. Horrow of USA Today. However, only 21 of 46 skiers completed training runs because of weather conditions, so times must be taken with a grain of salt.
Vonn is looking to medal at age 41 and after ending her retirement in late 2024. She's also competing with a torn ACL she suffered during a January crash at a World Cup race in Crans-Montana, Switzerland.
"This would be the best comeback I've done so far," Vonn said, per Andrew Dampf of The Associated Press. "Definitely the most dramatic."
The prediction here is that Vonn gets her medal and, alongside Johnson, helps get the United States on the board.
Team USA also has a good chance of earning a medal in team figure skating, which should be a highlight of Sunday with its final three events. Saturday brought the final qualifying rounds and the first event in the finals, ice dancing free dance.
Thanks to another impressive run by ice dancers Madison Chock and Evan Bates, the Americans hold a five-point lead over Japan a quarter of the way through the finals.
While Team USA has a slight lead entering Sunday, things didn't quite go as the team might have hoped on Saturday. Men's star Ilia Malinin had an up-and-down short routine in the men's singles, ultimately finishing second—by a wide margin—to Japan's Yuma Kagiyama.
Malinin, who remains the only skater to successfully land a quadruple axle in competition, entered the games as a heavy favorite for the men's competition and one of the top competitors in the team lineup.
"You know, I think I got to buckle down and see what happens and get better next time. We will work it out," Malinin said, per Dave Skretta of The Associated Press.
The hope was that Team USA would build a large enough lead that Malinin could rest on Sunday and prepare for next week's individual competition, which will begin on Tuesday. However, the 21-year-old phenom will skate the long program on Sunday.
Amber Glenn will skate the women's long program for Team USA, while Ellie Kam and Danny O'Shea will be back on the ice for the pairs run.
The prediction here is that Malinin rebounds from Saturday's shaky run to clinch the gold for Team USA in Sunday's final event.
