A note for your team event qualification post: for the +1 discipline spots, there are only enough spots for five humans to go just in the team event. I believe those spots will be allocated in the order determined by world standing points from this year's championships plus next year's grand prix season, so Japan and then France would certainly be on top of the list, but a country like Poland would be hoping that one of those two countries qualifies all four disciplines so they can bring their dance team.

Yes, a very good note that I forgot to mention! Thank you!

Yes, this does affect some of the smaller countries as well, but it'll all depend on how many countries end up actually qualifying and then - if there's more than ten - where they end up on the standings. There were eleven last time that had at least three disciplines, if I recall, so it'll be interesting to see how everything shapes up.

2026 Olympic Team Event - Current/Potential Qualified Teams

These are the teams that have qualified for the Team Event at the 2026 Olympic Games based on the results of the 2025 Worlds. (A few more spots are available at the qualifying event in Beijing this fall.)

The Team Event is composed of the top 10 countries based on the 2025 Worlds and the 2025-26 Grand Prix season that have qualified in at least three disciplines. (They can send one skater/team to compete in the team event only if they do not qualify in all four disciplines.)

Four Disciplines

  • USA
  • CAN
  • ITA

Three Disciplines

  • JPN (Missing Ice Dance)
  • FRA (Missing Pairs)
  • KOR (Missing Pairs)
  • GEO (Missing Women)
  • GBR (Missing Men)
  • POL (Missing Ice Dance)

The following countries have qualified in two disciplines, and thus, if they earned one more spot in Beijing, theywould be eligible:

  • KAZ (Missing Pairs and Ice Dance)
  • SUI (Missing Pairs and Ice Dance)
  • EST (Missing Pairs and ice Dance)
  • ESP (Missing Women and Pairs)
  • FIN (Missing Men and Pairs~)
  • GER (Missing Men and Women)

~ It is worth noting that Finland's only pair is not eligible for Olympic competition due to citizenship.

NOTE: China has currently only qualified one spot (Men's) but has a good chance at Women and Pairs in Beijing, which would make them eligible, so they are not listed here but should be in the conversation.

What if a country does not have anyone to compete for one discipline? Like South Korea has no Pairs team at all.

Imo the team event is nonsense if you are not able to have at least one skater/couple in every discipline.

They'd compete without someone in that discipline. They're strong enough in Singles they'd be okay, I think.
