Olympic qualification event

edit

Initially, a total of six spots per singles event, three spots in pairs, and four spots in ice dance were available at the Nebelhorn Trophy. One additional quota spot became available in men's singles following the 2021 World Championships.[18] Available spots were allocated in descending order of placement among eligible nations.

Only ISU member nations that had not already earned an entry to the Olympics via the 2021 World Championships were allowed to attempt to earn a qualification berth at Nebelhorn Trophy. However, if a country earned two or three spots at the World Championships, but did not have two or three skaters, respectively, qualify for the free skating/dance, then they were allowed to send a skater/team who did not qualify for the free segment at World Championships to Nebelhorn Trophy to qualify the remaining spot.[4] The following ISU member nations were eligible to qualify a second or third spot in the listed disciplines at Nebelhorn Trophy:[18]

Spot # Men Women Pairs Dance
3   United States
  ROC[a]
  United States   China
2   Canada
  France
  South Korea
  Belgium
  Austria
  Japan   Italy
  Great Britain
All other ISU member nations not previously qualified were eligible to earn one quota spot.

Unlike at the World Championships, where countries could qualify more than one spot depending on the placement of their skater(s), at Nebelhorn Trophy, countries could earn only one spot per discipline, regardless of ranking. The following ISU member nations qualified a berth for their National Olympic Committee at Nebelhorn Trophy:[19]

Men Women Pairs Dance
  United States   United States   Spain   Finland
  France   Poland   Georgia   Georgia
  ROC[a]   Belarus   Israel   Armenia
  South Korea   Switzerland   Czech Republic
  Azerbaijan   Ukraine
  Australia   Australia
  Canada

If a country declines to use one or more of its qualified spots for the Olympics, the vacated spot will be awarded using the results of Nebelhorn Trophy in descending order of placement.[4] The following countries are next in line for Olympic quota spots:[19]

Men Women Pairs Dance
  Turkey   Italy   China   Hungary
  Armenia   Cyprus   Belarus   South Korea
  Great Britain   Chinese Taipei   Australia   Italy
  Germany   Slovenia   Netherlands   Australia

Notes

edit
  1. ^ a b Russia is allowed to compete under its own name and flag at non-world championship-level ISU events, including the 2021 CS Nebelhorn Trophy, but will compete as "ROC" under the Russian Olympic Committee flag at the 2022 Winter Olympics due to doping sanctions against the country.[20]
