Reigning Olympic gold medalist Yevgeny Plushenko will get his short program out of the way early Tuesday night, drawing the 10th spot in the 30-man field.
Plushenko is trying to become the first man in 58 years to repeat as Olympic champion. He is the first of the top men to skate. Turin runner-up Stephane Lambiel of Switzerland skates 19th, followed by Japan's Nobunari Oda and 2007 world champion Brian Joubert of France. Canada's Patrick Chan drew the 24th spot.
The U.S. men are bunched at the end. World champion Evan Lysacek and U.S. champ Jeremy Abbott are back to back at 28th and 29th. Johnny Weir skates 25th.
