Figure skating is always one of the marquee events of the Winter Olympics, and we're already counting down the days until the competition begins at Beijing 2022 [1]! The skating competition [2] is spread across four disciplines — men, women, pairs, and ice dance [3] — and athletes in each discipline compete a short program and a free skate. And that's not all: skaters from the top countries in the world will compete in a team competition ahead of the individual events, similar to the gymnastics team event during the Summer Games.
All of this means that there is a lot of skating to keep track of at the Olympics! Fortunately, we've got the complete schedule, so you always know when your favourite skaters will be competing over the course of those two weeks. Note that all times listed are in Eastern time, which is exactly 12 hours behind Beijing. Bookmark this schedule so you don't miss a minute of the Olympic figure skating competition!
