Mikaela Shiffrin's first event of the Beijing Olympics is the one she won four years ago.

The American star is set to defend her title in the giant slalom, which will be part of prime-time coverage of the Winter Games on Sunday on NBC — although anyone who wants to watch to the end should plan on being up late. The second of the two giant slalom runs is scheduled to start after midnight Eastern time.

The team figure skating competition also wraps up Sunday night, and the men's slopestyle snowboarding final could be another highlight in the U.S. after Red Gerard won that event in 2018.

Here are some things to watch (all times Eastern):

ALPINE SKIING

The giant slalom is the first showdown between Shiffrin and Slovakia's Petra Vlhova, whose rivalry is expected to stretch across several skiing events at these Olympics. Vlhova finished 13th at Pyeongchang in 2018 in this event, but she won the world title a year later.

Shiffrin's two medals in 2018 were her gold in giant slalom and a silver in combined, and she also won the slalom in 2014.

The first giant slalom run is scheduled for 9:15 p.m. and will be carried live on NBC. The second run will air live on the network's late-night coverage. USA Network will also have live coverage of the first run.
