SATURDAY and SUNDAY: One last busy weekend in Milan and Cortina as the Winter Games, which have captured the attention of a global audience, prepare for Sunday’s closing ceremony (2:30 pm/ET) staged in Verona’s ancient Arena di Verona, a World Heritage site. With a theme of “Beauty in Motion,” the ceremony features music and dance in the city immortalized by Shakespeare before becoming Party Central for the athletes. Final weekend highlights include a figure skating exhibition gala (Saturday, 2 pm/ET), including gold medal women’s champion Alysa Liu, and the men’s gold-medal hockey final (Sunday, 8:10 am/ET). Other sports wrapping up competition include curling, speed skating, skiing, ski mountaineering, cross-country skiing, biathlon, and bobsled. All events can be livestreamed and replayed on Peacock, with coverage on NBC and USA Network throughout the day. (For details, go to nbcolympics.com/schedule.) NBC’s Primetime in Milan recap airs each night at 8/7c. Next stop: the Summer Games in Los Angeles in 2028!
