PyeongChang figure skating events to start at 10am

[SpeedySucks]

Can anyone access this entire article? According to Phil Hersh, all figure skating events at the 2018 Olympics will begin at 10am Korean time to accommodate live primetime coverage in the U.S., with practices being held even earlier in the morning.

NBC made the same arrangements in 2008 for gymnastics and swimming to have morning finals at the Beijing Games. This will be a significant adjustment for the skaters, I'm sure.
