There are medal events in alpine skiing tonight in prime time on NBC, early-morning coverage of U.S. vs. Russia in men’s hockey (live on NBCSN), and a lot in between – including the U.S. women’s curling team vs. Sweden on CNBC. One thing to look for on NBC’s pre-prime time Olympics coverage, which begins at 3 p.m. ET: a Tom Brokaw special on the U.S.-Soviet space race, a valid and vivid way to explore the tensions between two countries which, at the moment, are trying to play well with others, though not without difficulty and exceptions on both sides.
