Wednesday’s Olympic TV schedule: Speedskater Jordan Stolz and more
American speedskater Jordan Stolz and Chloe Kim, a two-time Olympic gold medalist, headline the action at Milan Cortina on Wednesday.
Two United States Olympic stars will make their debut at the Milan Cortina Winter Games on Wednesday.
Jordan Stolz, the American speedskating phenom whose dominance has been compared to Michael Phelps, is set to compete in the men’s 1,000-meter race at 12:30 p.m. Philadelphia time on NBC.
Stolz, 21, enters the race as the gold medal favorite, and is expected to be among the top competitors in the 500, 1,500, and mass start, a long-track race in which everyone starts together and the top three finishers make the podium.
The Wisconsin native holds the world record in the 1,000-meter race (1:05.37), which he set in 2024, and plans to wear the same pair of skates when he takes the ice at the Milano Speed Skating Stadium.
More than 140 miles to the north, U.S. snowboarder and Princeton grad Chloe Kim will begin her quest for a third straight Olympic gold medal in the halfpipe event on Wednesday. If you want to watch the qualification round live, you’ll need to set an alarm — the event is scheduled begin at 4:45 a.m. on USA Network (with a rebroadcast at 6:45 a.m.).
If Kim qualifies, she’ll move on to the halfpipe finals, which will begin Thursday at 1:30 p.m.
In other Wednesday action:
Figure skating duo Madison Chock and Evan Bates, who already won a gold medal in the team event, will compete in the free dance event beginning at 1:15 p.m. on USA Network. They sit in second place behind the French team of Laurence Fournier Beaudry and Guillaume Cizeron.
U.S. skier Ryan Cochran-Siegle, the defending silver medalist in the super-G, will hit the slopes looking for gold at 5:30 a.m. on USA Network.
