Out of safety precautions, organizers have announced that international spectators will be barred from attending, with only a limited number of spectators allowed at any of the in-person events.This year there will be a total of 109 events on the roster, the highest in history.
New events include women’s monobobsled, freestyle skiing big air, and mixed team events such as short track speed skating team relay, ski jumping, freestyle skiiing aerials and snowboard cross.
Although you can’t cheer on your favorite teams and athletes in person this year, there are plenty of ways to stream the action online for free (and rep Team USA with new Olympics merch).As always, the games will broadcast live on NBC but if you don’t have cable you can still access the network through streaming services such as FuboTV and Sling TV.
