So who did you see?

I saw Lindemann, Tugba (or someone that looked a lot like her and the camera stayed with her a while), Sasha Zaretsky (flag bearer for Greece), Stephane Lambiel (flag bearer for Switzerland), from team USA I only saw Frank Carroll and then call me crazy but I swear I saw Mishin, he was holding a camera and taping everything.

And then well in the big screen, when they were showing all the sports I saw Shizuka, Sasha, Plushenko and Lambiel.

I saw Meryl, Charlie, Igor, Rachel, Jeremy Barrett, Mark Ladwig, Marina, possibly Tessa, Samuelson and Bates, John Kerr, Lambiel, Van Der Perren, Sebestyen, Dube and Davison, Vanessa Crone, Rochette, Cheltzie Lee, Lindemann, and the Zaretskis. I think I might have caught a glimpse of Elene Gedevanishvili's head just behind one of the much taller members of the Georgian delegation as they were marching in. Can anyone else confirm this?

In Team Japan, Nobu and Reeds.
In Team Georgia, Allison Reed, not Gedevanishvilli .... but I might have missed some instance.

Nice ceremony!

I saw Yan Liu, KevinVDP, Stephane Liambiel, German figure skater Stefan, Patrick Chan, Joannie, Cynthia, Annabelle/Cody(?), V/M(?) and maybe Brian Jobert?

Anybody else was in the march?

Oh I thought I saw Nobu but I wasn't sure, but for what you wrote it seems it was.

It was adorable how Stephane was twirling around with the flag, which I didn't see many flag-bearers do. But the zebra is known for his spins! :D

Sasha Zaretsky (flag bearer for Greece)

You mean Israel. ;)
I saw Julia bearing the flag for Hungary. She looked stunning and happy! And Kevin van der Perren! Yay!
Meryl was very pretty today. I was really excited that NBC took such a long close up shot of her. By the way, was Tanith there??

From his twitter, I believe Evan is there. But I didn't see him. I saw Davis, White, and Abbott. Lambiel was so cute!

Did anyone else recognize Barbara Ann Scott by her hair before her face was shown? Her hairstyle is as iconic as she is.
