Entries
editCountries began announcing their entries in 2017. The International Skating Union published the complete list on 30 January 2018.
- Isabella Tobias and Ilia Tkachenko, who qualified in an ice dance spot for Israel, were replaced by Tankova and Zilberberg because Tkachenko's application for Israeli citizenship was denied. [30]
- Alexander Majorov was unable to achieve the performance level required by the Swedish Olympic Committee. Thus, the Committee gave up the corresponding quota for men's singles. [51]
- Ksenia Stolbova and Ivan Bukin were not invited to the 2018 Winter Olympics by the International Olympic Committee. [52][53]
- The Olympic Committee of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea failed to submit paperwork on time and thus lost their pairs spot qualified by Ryom Tae-ok and Kim Ju-sik. The International Olympic Committee later awarded the country a wild-card spot following negotiations between North and South Korea.[54]
