Well it will be interesting to see how the skaters navigate the rink dimensions for Cup of China. The rink in Beijing is an Olympic sized surface (30m x 60m or ~100ft x 196ft) versus the NHL sized rinks used during Skate America and Skate Canada - which were NHL dimensions, 85 ft x 200 ft. The Olympic is thus quite a bit wider (15 feet) but sometimes a touch shorter on the long side).

Thank you for this info, Tallorder.:thumbsup: I was wondering about this last week when a few skaters seemed to be close to the boards:popcorn:.
