Who is the Olympic women’s figure skating favorite? Watch this week.

Russia is dominating women’s figure skating like no other country in more than 80 years. The nation’s best — the early favorites for Olympic gold, silver and bronze medals in 15 months — go head-to-head-to-head this week in the strongest competition so far in 2020.

Rostelecom Cup, an annual international Grand Prix Series event in Moscow, will be largely a domestic one on Friday and Saturday (live on Peacock Premium) due to coronavirus pandemic-related travel precautions. NBC airs TV coverage on Saturday and Sunday from 4-6 p.m. ET.

The headline skaters: Aliona Kostornaya, 17, and Anna Shcherbakova and Aleksandra Trusova, both 16.
