The Olympics: Day 6
by Anna Johns, posted Feb 15th 2006 12:14PM
One of the athletes to watch tonight is not an American. It's
Croatian Alpine Skier Janica Kostelic, who won four gold medals in her sport in Salt Lake City. Her brother, Ivica, won
the silver medal in the slalom last night. Americans Julie Mancuso and Lindsey Kildow, who was injured during a training
run earlier this week, are also in medal contention.There are some Americans to watch, too. Apolo Anton Ohno races in the 1000m speed skate and hopefully he'll be able to stay on his feet for this one. Also, gorgeous Jeremy Bloom (seriously, girls, look at him) competes in the moguls.
Here's tonight's line-up on all of NBC's stations:

That's right, sports fans. We're
already on day five of the Olympics. Tonight on NBC, the men take to the ice. You've got to check out Russian skater Yevgeny Plushenko just for his inflated ego. With
his quadruple jump combinations, the guy comes in as a top contender for a gold medal. He is also the star of the Sex Bomb exhibition where he skates in a flesh-colored costume and dances to Tom
Jones. I kid you not.Also tonight, overexposed American skier Bode Miller is back on the slopes in the men's combined downhill and slalom. Hopefully he got to bed early last night.
Here's the schedule on all NBC stations:

The Russians are well on their way to winning a gold medal
in pairs figure skating tonight. After a flawless
short program, Totmiyanina and Marinin enter tonight's long program almost four full points ahead of the next team.
Also tonight is the women's halfpipe snowboarding competition. The U.S. men already claimed a gold last night, thanks
to an awesome run by Shaun White. Tonight, Americans Gretchen Bleiler, Hannah Teter and 2002 gold medalist Kelly Clark all have a good chance at getting on the
podium. Also tonight, more speed skating as American Casey FitzRandolph races in the 500m, for which he
won gold in Salt Lake City. And the American women and men each take on Norway in curling.Here's tonight's schedule on all of NBC's networks:

Some big names in competition today. On the slopes, Americans
Bode Miller and Daron Rahlves hope they can hold back Austrian hot
shot Alpine Skier Hermann Maier, who is on a
mission to win since he missed the Salt Lake City games due to a motorcycle accident. Seattle native Apolo Anton Ohno (and his soul patch) go for the
gold in the same race that caused controversy in SLC when he won after a South Korean speed skater was disqualified for
interfering with Ohno during the race. But, the real spectacle of the night will hopefully be top-rated, red-haired,
American snowboarder Shaun White, a.k.a. The
Flying Tomato, as he goes for the gold on the half-pipe.Here's today's Olympic schedule:

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:
