History is on the line as arguably the world's best snowboarder looks to end his Olympic career with one final medal.
Team USA has been climbing the medal ranks after a stellar night of performances, but Thursday's events will be headlined by some of the Olympics' biggest veterans.
Here's what to watch in the next 24 hours in Beijing and how you can watch it live.
Snowboarding

Tonight is Shaun White's big moment. The United States snowboarder will drop into the halfpipe in the 2022 Winter Olympics for the final time Thursday, hoping that he can cap off a legendary career with an historic gold medal.
White, who has competed in the half-pipe event in the last four Olympics, made it to the 2022 Games as one of the final qualifiers in his sport, and now the 35-year-old is hoping that he can make history with yet another gold medal.
White, a snowboarding legend and three-time Olympic gold medalist in the event, is competing in his last Olympic Games. If he manages to win gold in Beijing, he will become the only athlete to capture four golds in the same event.
The final of the men's halfpipe takes place on Friday at 7:30 p.m. CT.

Alpine Skiing
Sports
The Alpine skiing women’s program shifts to the daunting “Rock” speed course for the super-G Thursday evening, and NBC and Peacock have live coverage of the star-studded event.
The event will mark Mikaela Shiffrin's return to the ski slopes following her disappointing start to the 2022 Winter Olympics.
Here's how to watch:
Women's Hockey
The U.S. women's hockey team, led by its Chicago-area stars, takes on the Czech Republic during the quarterfinals on Thursday night at 10:10 p.m. CT.
The game will be broadcast live on the USA Network.
Skeleton
Much like its name suggests, skeleton is one of the scariest and most dangerous sports known to man. The winter sliding sport consists of a racer, covered head to toe in protective padding, lying face down and darting head-first down a frozen track.
Skeleton is the third-fastest sport held in the Winter Olympics, with maximum sled speeds reaching about 130 km/hr.

Curling
Tabitha and Tara Peterson and the rest of the Team USA women's curling team have started strong at the 2022 Winter Olympics.
The United States got its second win Thursday in the women's round robin tournament in Beijing, besting Denmark 7-5.
On the men's side, Team USA fell 1-1 during a gold medal game rematch against Sweden. The Swedes defeated Team USA, 7-4, at the National Aquatics Center in Beijing. The win comes four years after the U.S. beat Sweden in a gold-medal game matchup.

Biathlon
One of the most interesting sports to take place at the Winter Olympics is back once again.
Biathlon made its debut at the 1960 Winter Olympics in Squaw Valley, Calif., and has been a part of each Winter Olympics ever since.

Short Track Speed Skating
The women’s 1000m will feature three Americans: Maame Biney, Kristen Santos and Corinne Stoddard.
Santos is expected to be in the mix for a medal in the event after beating defending Olympic gold medalist Suzanne Schulting during the World Cup season. Still, Schulting will be the woman to beat in the event.
Santos and Biney will be competing in their second event of this year’s Olympics with the 1000m. Both raced in the women’s 500m on Monday, though neither advanced past the quarterfinals.
Ski Jumping
The Chicago area's local skiers - Kevin Bickner, Casey Larson and Patrick Gasienica - will all return to the hill for their next event. None of the three medaled in their Beijing debuts, but they'll have another shot as they look to qualify for the men's large hill individual.
