Hi everyone Mike Tirico coming to you from Beijing, where tonight? Our prime time coverage of the 24th Winter olympic games gets underway, plenty of live action from the first day of figure skating. It all begins with the team event, expected to feature Salt Lake City's Nathan Chen back in his second olympics and hoping to get team USA off to a great start in the men's short program plus hit the slopes for qualifying of men's and women's moguls in freestyle skiing. It's all ahead tonight. As the winter olympics get underway on NBC.
