Anyone watching the ice skating?

I’ve been loving all the ice skating events over the past few days. Does anyone know if the young girls in pink are picking stuff up off the ice after each skater? They’re not the focus and just catch glimpses of them whizzing in the background. And then there is a row of three of four guys in high vis wearing helmets - what is their job?!

Yep usually the kids are picking up flowers and teddies for the skaters. Doesn't seem to be as much of that stuff as there used to in the 90s.Not sure who the other guys are.

Interesting. I wonder what happens to all the stuff thrown onto the rink, can’t imagine the professionals wanting teddies!

I presumed the men in high viz were medics?

The guy who just won the men's skating was cuddling a toy panda with a tag still in its ear, I did wonder what was going on there but that makes sense now!
