Figure skating nationals, speed skating trials dot winter sports broadcast schedule

Gold-medal contenders look to book their spots on the U.S. Olympic team in the most anticipated week of qualifying competitions, live on NBC Sports and Peacock this week.

The U.S. Olympic figure skating roster will be announced after the national championships in Nashville, where world champion Nathan Chen is the headliner. A committee will choose three men, three women, two pairs and three ice dance couples, considering results from the past year. The team usually mirrors nationals results, but not always.

In the Olympic speed skating trials, Brittany Bowe, Erin Jackson and Joey Mantia look to return to the Winter Games after impressive World Cup seasons. Each native of Ocala, Florida, is ranked No. 1 in the world in their best event.

Shaun White is the marquee name at the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Grand Prix at Mammoth Mountain, California. While Chloe Kim already clinched her Olympic spot, White must either get on the podium this week or rely on a discretionary selection to get to his fifth Games.

Elsewhere, Americans are looking to lock up Olympic spots via international results in bobsled, luge and skeleton. Cross-country skiing and ski jumping finish their annual showcases -- the Tour de Ski and the Four Hills Tournament.
