Like who didnt show up and how cold it is in the arena? LOL!
Only athletes who didn't show up were Chartrand & Hendrickx. (I believe that ladies don't start until a day later than many of the competitors?)
Arena temperature was pretty normal. Cold but not fridged. Wear layers.
What old people liked about the sheets was you could write on them during the skating. Glossy hard bound programs (non spiral bound) are clumsy at best. Olde Coyote with slow arthritic fingers.Thanks for the reports, everyone. The absence of starting order sheets seems to be a new trend, it was the same at Finlandia. One just cannot exist without a smartphone these days... :/
Patrick from Patrick Commentates Skating has quite a few practice tweets here, including a few videos:

From the long shot, it seems Satoko's jumps are getting better. I can't say they are higher or not, but they look more powerful perhaps.
