p. 30:
The maximum number of competitors for the Winter Games across all disciplines, for the short program, and for the rhythm dance, to qualify for the free skate and free dance, must be in accordance with the qualification system determined before each Winter Games. The IOC decides the qualification system, in consultation with the ISU.
Skaters of ISU-member countries who have participated in the World senior championships that have taken place the year before the Winter Games are eligible to accumulate points to qualify to compete.
There are 26 entries for the women's and men's singles competition, 16 entries for pair skaters, and 19 entries for Ice dance. ISU-member countries with skaters who have earned the necessary points have the right to two or three entries into the Winter Games if they also had two or three entries in the World Championships immediately prior to the Winter Games.
The remaining open entries available are filled by ISU-member countries in the order of their placements at a senior international competition, designated by the ISU, that had taken place in the autumn of the calendar year immediately prior to the Winter Games. The entries are only available to ISU-member countries that have earned one entry and that have earned enough points for two or three entries, but did not have two or three skaters who qualified for the free skate or free dance in the World Championships immediately prior to the Olympic Games.
p. 31:
Skaters, pair teams, and ice dancing teams are eligible to enter and participate in the Winter Games only if they have reached the applicable combined total elements score, as established for the European Championships or Four Continents Championships. The scores must be earned during an ISU-recognized international competition that took place during the same season of the Games or during the immediately preceding season. However, the ISU-member country that is hosting the Games has the right to enter one competitor "per concerned discipline(s) as additional entry(ies)" only if the "concerned Skater(s)/Pair/Couple" have earned the minimum total elements score for the Winter Games.
ISU-member countries with skaters who have earned entries must inform, if possible, the ISU how many skaters and teams are eligible to compete at the Winter Games after their individual senior World championships, but not later than September 15. The unfilled entries will be filled by eligible member countries. The ISU publishes a list of the "set and stand-by entries" no later than October 30, after the member countries' senior World championships and qualifying competitions for the Winter Games.
If the IOC includes, in the program of the Winter Games, in addition to the existing number of events, a team event with single skaters, pair skaters, and ice dancers, the ISU, in consultation with the IOC, will set all relevant conditions. These conditions include: the number of teams and participants; qualifying, participation, and entry criteria; technical format, starting order, result determination, officials' participation, and other "relevant technical and organizational details".
