Figure skating at the 2026 Winter Olympics

Following the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, the International Olympic Committee suspended the Olympic Committees of Russia and Belarus. The skating federations of Russia and Belarus were each permitted to nominate one skater or team from each discipline to compete at the Skate to Milano as a means to qualify for the 2026 Winter Olympics as Individual Neutral Athletes (AINs). Each nominee was required to pass a special screening process to assess whether they had displayed any support for the Russian invasion of Ukraine or had any contractual links to the Russian or Belarusian military. Petr Gumennik and Adeliia Petrosian, both of Russia, and Viktoriia Safonova of Belarus earned spots at the Olympics as Individual Neutral Athletes. A total of five events were contested: men's singles, women's singles, pair skating, ice dance, and the team event. All events were held from 6 to 19 February at the Milano Ice Skating Arena in Milan, Italy. == Qualification ==

A total of 142 quota spots were available to athletes to compete in figure skating at the 2026 Winter Olympics. Each National Olympic Committee (NOC) was allowed to enter a maximum of 18 skaters, with a maximum of nine men or nine women. The remaining quota spots were allocated based on the results of the Skate to Milano. ==Entries==

Countries began announcing their selections following the 2025 World Championships. The International Skating Union published a complete list of entries on 26 January 2026. As a result, the spot was reallocated to Sweden, and Milla Ruud Reitan and Nikolaj Majorov became the first Swedish ice dance team to qualify for the Winter Olympics. Additionally, Uzbekistan had originally qualified one quota spot in the pairs event after Ekaterina Geynish and Dmitrii Chigirev finished in tenth place at the 2025 World Championships. However, after Geynish and Chigirev ended their partnership, the spot was re-allocated to France, who chose to send Camille Kovalev and Pavel Kovalev. Meda Variakojytė of Lithuania made history as the first Lithuanian woman to qualify for the Winter Olympics in single skating. Additionally, Daria Danilova and Michel Tsiba of the Netherlands became the first Dutch pair skating team to qualify for the Winter Olympics. ==Competition schedule==

The results of the ice dance event sparked some backlash, with media outlets questioning how Laurence Fournier Beaudry and Guillaume Cizeron of France won despite notable errors with their twizzle sequences in both their rhythm dance and free dance. Controversy arose when an examination of the judges' results revealed that the French judge, Jézabel Dabouis, had given Madison Chock and Evan Bates of the United States a total score of 129.74 in the free dance, which was over 5.20 points lower than the average score of the remaining eight judges, while at the same time, awarding Fournier Beaudry and Cizeron a total score of 137.45, which was almost three points above the average score of the remaining judges. A spokesperson from the International Skating Union (ISU) responded to the outcry: "It is normal for there to be a range of scores given by different judges in any panel and a number of mechanisms are used to mitigate these variations. The ISU has full confidence in the scores given and remains completely committed to fairness." == References ==
