How to watch the Olympics
There's a massive time difference from the United States to South Korea, so catching Friday's Opening Ceremony live means you'll have to be awake from 5 a.m. to 7 a.m. local time.
The Olympics actually begin on Thursday, a day before the Opening Ceremony, and they run through Sunday, Feb. 25.
