were not eligible to qualify more spots here, and their results were discounted from the overall results when allotting spots to countries. Unlike at the World Championships, where countries could qualify more than one spot depending on the placement of the skater, at this competition, countries who qualified were allotted only one spot to the Olympics, regardless of placement. There were six Olympic spots available in men's singles, seven in ladies' singles, four in pairs, and five in ice dance. There were originally only six spots available in the ladies event; however, Georgia gave up one of its ladies spots before the competition, which allowed a seventh spot to become available. If a country later declined to use one or more of its qualified spots, the vacated spot was awarded using the results of the Nebelhorn Trophy in descending order of placement.

Qualified countries

The following countries qualified an entry to the Olympics. In the event that a country chooses not to fill a spot, the next alternate in line is allotted the spot. * Georgia, which had earned two spots in the ladies event at the World Championships, informed the ISU before the competition that they would not be filling their second spot. Therefore, Israel qualified an entrant here.
