ISU confirmed the countries for the Olympic quotas for the team event. It confirms that Korea and Poland will field entries in 3/4 of the disciplines.

 

Really stupid imo. Either just have the team event with 8 teams or give them the necessary quotas. Imagine running a 4x100m relay but you have to stop after the 3rd runner finishes.

Any news on  quota in pairs?

 pair Danilova/Tsiba hasn't fulfilled the national criteria to participate in the Games but their skating federation has sent a request to the national olympic committee for an exception and to include them to the TeamNL. https://www.schaatsen.nl/nieuws/knsb-dient-verzoek-in-voor-olympisch-startbewijs-danilova-tsiba/

Japan just had their nationals and announced their team: https://www.olympics.com/en/milano-cortina-2026/news/figure-skating-japan-team-announcement-milano-cortina-2026

 

The Miura/Kihara pair withdrew from nationals due to her dislocated shoulder, but because of their record during GP, they had no trouble being selected, and are definitely in medal contention.

 

As for the women, it was Sakamoto, Chiba, and Nakai who made the cut.  (I was rooting for Nakai...love her Wonderful World routine.)
