Tim DanielsFeb 9, 2018

The 2018 Winter Olympics got underway in Pyeongchang, South Korea, on Thursday with some preliminary competition ahead of Friday's opening ceremony.

It marks the second time South Korea has welcomed the world's best athletes. Seoul, the country's capital, previously hosted the 1988 Summer Games.

Although there's a 14-hour time difference between Pyeongchang and the United States' Eastern Time zone, NBC will still showcase live coverage in prime time featuring morning events in Korea.

The American contingent that's made its way around the globe will include some familiar faces as well as some rising stars hopeful of bringing a gold medal back stateside.

Lindsey Vonn, Shaun White and Shani Davis are among the past Olympic champions who are returning to the world stage for another shot at glory. Mikaela Shiffrin has the best chance to dominate the Games after ruling the World Cup circuit in alpine skiing since winning gold in the slalom four years ago.

Among the new faces, none have generated more attention than Chloe Kim, the 17-year-old snowboarding sensation who's ready to supplant White as the face of the sport in the U.S. She's a four-time X-Games gold medalist and won two golds at the 2016 Winter Youth Olympics.

While concerns have been raised about the safety of the Games due to ongoing international tensions, including issues with host country neighbor North Korea, United States Olympic Committee CEO Scott Blackmun is confident in the preparations, per Rick Maese of the Washington Post.

"The risks are different with each Games. We had one set of risks...in Sochi. In Rio, we were concerned about Zika and small-scale crime," Blackmun said in December. "Obviously in Korea, we're concerned about the global tensions. But interestingly, from the standpoint of things that we can control, we actually feel really good. We think we're in a good place."

So let's check out the entire nightly schedule for NBC and the NBC Sports Network. For a complete list of television coverage, visit the official NBC Olympics website. In addition, all events will be available via live stream on NBC Sports Live.
