Men's ice hockey kicks off on Wednesday, with 12 hours of live programming starting at 5 am EST. None of the games are between teams considered medal contenders. The most interesting match-up is probably the Czech Republic versus Germany, what with payback for the taking of the Sudetenland and all.
The US will play Latvia in a game that airs in the afternoon - but not live (at least the NBC schedule doesn't list it as such).
There's more curling (US women versus Denmark at 8 am, US men versus Italy at 5 pm).
Prime time coverage should focus on the women's downhill and the luge team of Mark Grimmette and Brian Martin, who are looking to medal in their third straight Games in doubles luge. But we'll probably get a heaping helping of Apollo Anton Ohno, whose skating in a couple of events. Jeremy Bloom competes in moguls (meaning we'll hear his skiing versus football story again), too.
