Figure skating at the 2024 Winter Youth Olympics took place at the Gangneung Ice Arena in Gangneung, South Korea, from 27 January to 1 February 2024.[1]

Unlike previous Winter Youth Olympic figure skating events, which all included a mixed National Olympic Committee (NOC) team trophy, the 2024 event featured a team event between NOCs.[2]

Eligibility[edit]

Skaters are eligible to participate at the 2024 Winter Youth Olympics if they were born between 1 January 2006 and 31 December 2009.[8]

Qualification system[edit]

The overall quota for the figure skating competition is 72 total skaters. The maximum number of entries that a National Olympic Committee (NOC) can qualify is two per event, making 12 (six men and six women) the maximum number of entries that a country can qualify.[8]

If a country hosted a skater in the first, second, or third position in a 2023 World Junior Figure Skating Championships discipline, they qualify for two spots in that discipline at the Winter Youth Olympics. All other nations can enter one athlete until a quota spot of twelve for each singles event, seven for pairs, and nine for ice dance, are reached. There are an additional four spots for each singles event and three spots for pairs and ice dance at the 2023–24 ISU Junior Grand Prix. Only one quota spot per discipline and NOC can be earned through the 2023–24 ISU Junior Grand Prix series, and only if a NOC does not already have a quota spot for that discipline.[8]

Number of entries per discipline[edit]

Based on the results of the 2023 World Junior Championships and the 2023–24 JGP Final, the following countries earned quota spots.[8][9][10]
