Eligibility
Skaters are eligible to participate at the 2024 Winter Youth Olympics if they were born between 1 January 2006 and 31 December 2009.[3]
Qualification system
The overall quota for the figure skating competition is 72 total skaters. The maximum number of entries that qualified by a National Olympic Committee (NOC) is 2 per event, making 12 (6 men, 6 ladies) the maximum number of entries that a country can qualify.[3]
If a country placed a skater in the first, second or third position in a 2023 World Junior Figure Skating Championships discipline they qualify for two spots in that discipline at the Youth Olympics. All other nations can enter one athlete until a quota spot of twelve for each singles event, seven for pairs and nine for ice dancing, are reached. There are further four spots for each single event and three spots for pairs/ice dancing at the 2023–24 ISU Junior Grand Prix. Only one quota place per discipline and NOC can be earned through the 2023–24 ISU Junior Grand Prix series, and only if a NOC doesn't already have a quota place for that discipline.[3]
