Qualification

See main article: Figure skating at the 2018 Winter Olympics – Qualification. A total of 10 teams qualified to compete. Each nation must have qualified in three of the four events to be considered for the team event. All athletes must have qualified for one of the other four events. However, if a nation did not qualify in one of the other four events, it was awarded an additional quota only for the team event. This was only used for Israel in the women's event.[3] [4] [5]
