Eligibility

Skaters are eligible to participate at the 2020 Winter Youth Olympics if they were born between 1 January 2003 and 31 December 2005, except males in pairs and ice dance, who may be born between 1 January 2001 and 31 December 2004.[6]

Qualification system

The overall quota for the figure skating competition is 76 total skaters, consisting of 38 men and 38 ladies. There will be 16 skaters in each of the single skating disciplines (men's and ladies'), 10 pair skating teams, and 12 ice dancing teams. The maximum number of entries that qualified by a National Olympic Committee (NOC) is 2 per event, making 12 (6 men, 6 ladies) the maximum number of entries that a country can qualify.[7]

If a country placed a skater in the first, second or third position in a 2019 World Junior Figure Skating Championships discipline they qualify for two spots in that discipline at the 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 dancing, are reached. There are further four spots for each single event and three spots for pairs/ice dancing at the 2019–20 ISU Junior Grand Prix. Only one quota place per discipline and NOC can be earned through the 2019–20 ISU Junior Grand Prix series, and only if a NOC doesn't already have a quota place for that discipline.[7]

Based on the results of the 2019 World Junior Championships and the 2019–20 ISU Junior Grand Prix the following countries have earned YOG quota places.[7][8]
