Alex Maragos reports from Beijing with what to watch next in the 2022 Winter Olympics.
Team USA scored another big gold medal Sunday morning and they'll be looking for more as some big events round out the weekend, including the ice dancing final, bobsledding, ski jumping and more.
Here's what to watch this weekend in Beijing and how you can watch it live.
Bobsled
Women's monobob made its debut at the 2022 Winter Games on Saturday and Team USA's Kaillie Humphries and Elana Meyers Taylor finished in the top five of the pack after completing their first two runs.
Humphries finished in the No. 1 spot after her first run with a time of 1:04.44 and then followed it up with a time of 1:04.66 in her 2nd run to give her the overall lead heading into the remaining heats.
Team USA's Elana Meyers Taylor was the first American to participate in the event. The three-time Olympic medalist finished in fourth place with a time of 2:10.42 after completing runs 1 and 2.
Meyers Taylor, who ranked No. 1 in the world in monobob, was off to a rough Olympic after testing positive for COVID-19 two days after arriving in Beijing and wasn't cleared from isolation until Feb. 5.
She will have two more runs to complete as she looks to win the first-ever monobob gold medal.

Sports
Things changed on a dime for the United States’ women’s curling team in a round robin matchup against Sweden Sunday morning.

Ice Hockey
The United States' women's hockey team might get another shot against Canada in the gold medal match at the 2022 Winter Olympics, but first it will have to skate past Finland in the semifinals.
The middle chapter of the team's Olympic saga starts and stops with Finland -- a team that has won four straight games, including a 7-1 thrashing over Japan in the quarterfinals.
The Americans bested Finland 5-2 in their first game in Beijing on Feb. 3, and have a notable matchup edge at goalie thanks to stellar play from Alex Cavallini at the 2022 Olympics. Cavallini will be tested by a Finnish offense that has found the back of the net five or more times in four straight wins.
Four teams remain in the 2022 Olympics women's hockey tournament -- Canada, Finland, Switzerland and the United States.
Team USA plays Finland on Monday, Feb. 14, at 7:10 a.m. CT. Canada and Switzerland play in the first semifinal at 10:10 p.m. CT Sunday, Feb 13.
USA Network will televise both semifinal games and they will be available for streaming on Peacock.
