Thanks for these reports Rosaleen. I like to pick someone at random and root for him even though these are all unknown skaters to me.

How old are competitors in the pre-novice division? Are most of them young kids who are on track to move up rapidly, or are them some older boys who just like to skate at this level for fun?

Do you know what happened with the judging on the Pre-novice Men's short program as the final marks were quite a bit different from the announced marks in several cases? Thanks if you have an answer.
