The Vancouver Olympics get underway across five networks: Skiing, skating, and snowboarding will dominate NBC, with hockey, curling, and other events on USA, MSNBC, CNBC, and Universal HD. Among the athletes to watch: alpine skier Lindsey Vonn, the first U.S. woman to win back-to-back overall World Cup championships; speed skater Shani Davis, the first African-American to win a solo Winter Olympics gold medal in an event; and snowboarder Shaun White. Coverage will be in high-def—an Olympics first. Monday–Sunday, Feb. 15–28
