Index - 1998 Olympics Figure Skating

• In order by Country
• In order by Placement

37 countries named entrants for the 1998 Olympics figure skating competitions.

The number of entrants per country was based on the placements received at the prior World Championships. The number of qualified entrants allowed for each country are listed after each discipline (deleted if the country didn't qualify an entrant).

Each country's skating federation determines which athletes will be chosen to attend the Olympics - it is possible for a federation to send fewer athletes than the maximum qualified by the country, based on the minimum requirements mandated by that particular skating federation or Olympic organization.

Men's and lady's singles were allotted 30 entries each, (but only 29 competitors were named in the Men's division) pairs had 20 entries, and dance 24.

As the host country, Japan was allotted one entry each in pairs and dance (disciplines they had not qualified at Worlds).
