The Announcement (I got it from SSC which is why the url is so long. Lol): www.speedskating.ca/client/cmsUploads/speed_skating/File/Documents_for_calendar_international_09-10/ST_WC_Beijing_Announcement.pdf

The Venue: Capital Gymnasium (I believe this was the Volleyball venue at the 08 Beijing Olys.)

This is a look at the interior of the Gymnasium (when it's a skating rink):

Thanks Bubblesbuttsbabe for al the info and the picture of the arena...looks like the pads are fixed to a solid frame and not movable...since this is a skating rink,are they likely to be changed?

You're welcome. I don't know anything about the pad system there. I didn't research any of the other sports that have been played there since the Olys, so I don't really know.

From the Beijing site:

"Built in 1968, the 18,000 seat stadium has been a comprehensive sport facility for table tennis, badminton, volleyball, basketball and gymnastics competitions, in addition to skating and ice hockey sports. In 2001, it was renovated to become a venue for the World University Games, while the latest expansion to an area of 54,707 sq m follows international standards, giving it many more functions to meet Olympic requirements....

....Furthermore, there is a skating ground underneath the movable planks, chief engineer Han Fushi said.

The temperature of the CIS is required to remain between 18 and 28 grade Celsius to cater for winter and summer competitions. To solve the question of air conditioning, water coolants were used to replace ammonia and freon for the sake of ozone layer protection."

Hi All;
Musical Mom checking in...anybody else up?
So far, no flashing numbers, no Tony Twitter, just ISU lists of times and heats after each race..

So far all U.S. and Canadian skaters have qualified in their heats
Also all Chinese and Koreans
Great Brittain is doing pretty well too.

In the women, Katherine Reutter, Kimberly Derrick and Kalyna Roberge ( Can.) all had fast times ..in the 2.27.022 ( Kat) - 2.27.887 (Kimberly) range

Apolo, Charles Hamelin, Olivier Jean & Guillame Bastile also won their heats...Guillame ( Can) was flying at 2.19.961 the fastest time so far I think...
