The women’s snowboard big air final has been rescheduled for Thursday, Feb. 21, in South Korea due to impending bad weather.
The event was originally scheduled for Friday, Feb. 22 , at the 2018 Winter Olympics.
The event has been moved to Thursday morning at 9:30 a.m. local time in Pyeongchang, South Korea. For viewers in the western United States, the event will be broadcast at 4:30 p.m. PST on Wednesday, Feb. 21.
South Lake Tahoe local Jamie Anderson is one of three American athletes who will participate in the women’s big air final.
