The Olympics: what's happening today
by Anna Johns, posted Feb 11th 2006 11:59AM
Most of the action today is going to be on
the ice, in the form of figure skating and speed skating. Figure skating pairs begin competition with the short
program. Expect to hear a lot from the commentators about how the judging has changed since Salt Lake, when Canadian
and Russian pairs ended up sharing the gold medal. Also today, Chad Hedrick begins his quest for five gold medals
in speed skating. Plus, the Americans face the very strong Chinese women in freestyle skiing. All the high profile
events will air during NBC primetime.Here's the schedule:
