Oh and can I just say that I hate that they are not listing the full heat rosters for each bracket??
I want to know who's coming up! (ok, whining mode off)

Cho picks up 3 points for 2nd place - he was in a tough heat with Liang (CHN). I think I've seen Liang on the podium more than any other Chinese man this season...
Travis is up - in Lane 3 (EDIT: Lane 1).

Just checking in; don't have phone juice to stay with you. Yes, I am in Poland. The coaches announce their skater at the start of each race. Lana forced her way in on a pass and got pen

After 1 distance for the Men:
1st: China (14 points) 2nd: USA (13 points) 3rd: Japan (12 points) 4th: Poland (4 points)
Snoozyq - you may have had some company if USA had decided to attend a little sooner (it was pretty short notice). Our son studied abroad in Warsaw - from what he says, the Poles are pretty nice people, so I bet you'll have some new friends before you leave!
