Team USA is in PyeongChang, South Korea and the 2018 Winter Olympics are underway.
Fans back here in the US watched the first competitive event on Thursday, Feb. 8, a day earlier than the Opening Ceremony which takes place Friday, Feb. 9.
NBC will be airing the ceremony twice – live as it happens at 6 a.m. EST Friday – and during its primetime window of Olympic coverage later that night.
