Records edit

The following new junior ISU best scores were set during this competition:

Disc. Segment Skater(s) Score Date Ref.
Pairs Short program   Apollinariia Panfilova / Dmitry Rylov 71.74 10 January 2020 [4]
Free skating 127.47 12 January 2020 [5]
Combined total 199.21 [6]

Eligibility edit

Skaters were 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 have been born between 1 January 2001 and 31 December 2004.[7]

Qualification system edit

The overall quota for the figure skating competition was 76 total skaters, consisting of 38 men and 38 ladies. There were 16 skaters in each of the single skating disciplines (men's and ladies'), 10 pair skating teams, and 12 ice dance teams. The maximum number of entries that a National Olympic Committee (NOC) could qualify was two per event, making 12 (six men and six ladies) the maximum number of entries that a country could qualify.[8]

If a country hosted a skater in the first, second, or third position in a 2019 World Junior Figure Skating Championships discipline, they qualified for two spots in that discipline at the Winter Youth Olympics. All other nations could enter one athlete until a quota spot of twelve for each singles event, seven for pairs, and nine for ice dance were reached. There were an additional four spots for each single event and three spots for pairs and ice dance at the 2019–20 ISU Junior Grand Prix. Only one quota spot per discipline and NOC could be earned through the 2019–20 ISU Junior Grand Prix series, and only if a NOC did not already have a quota spot for that discipline.[8]

Number of entries per discipline edit

Based on the results of the 2019 World Junior Championships and the 2019–20 JGP Final, the following countries earned quota spots.[8][9]
