High flying
The medal hopes of Poland, which hasn't won a medal at the Winter Games since 1970, are on the shoulders of 24-year-old Adam Malysz. Nicknamed the "Flying Pole," Malysz could easily add Olympic champion to his resume. The ski jumping competition highlights NBC's primetime coverage, which also features women's speed skating and luge finals.
