Competition at the Winter Olympics in PyeongChang begins Wednesday -- two days before the Opening Ceremony -- and you can watch them.

Because of the number of competitions, some of them have to begin a couple days early to make sure they all get in.

Curling gets underway with the new mixed doubles division. The United States takes on the Olympic Athletes from Russia at 4:05 p.m. Seattle time. Russia as a nation has been banned from these Games over doping, but its non-banned athletes are allowed to compete. Should they win gold, however, they will not hear the Russian anthem, but the Olympic anthem.

You can see a livestream of the match at this link. You will need to authenticate that you have a cable or satellite subscription.

It will also air on tape delay at 8:00 p.m. on NBC Sports Network (NBCSN).
