We see two Men from Finland and two from Israel http://www.isuresults.com/events/cat00028003.htm
Don't they qualify to Olympics?
I beleve may be exceptions.
Places 7, 8 (of that who pretend to Olympics spot) etc also have some sense.
If any federation can't use its place (for example, best skater of federation has injury, others have not minimum technical score) - this place is given to next in Nebelhorn (7th, 8th and so on).
Adding to the comments from AlexRus (thank you ), today's lengthy Nebelhorn preview from IN says:
- Countries with a second entry must designate which skater's result will count as the Olympic qualifier. (Israel and Finland both have two men entered.)
- If a skating federation qualified an Olympic entry at the 2013 World Figure Skating Championships in London, Ontario, and does not use that spot in Sochi, the next country from the Nebelhorn qualifying result gets it. (Most notably, if Isabella Tobias does not secure Lithuanian citizenship in time for the Olympics, she and partner Deividas Stagniunas' ice dance spot will likely be awarded to the country thats owns the sixth-best ice dance result in Nebelhorn qualification.)

Although the IN article is not clear, I'm guessing that it means that Israel and Finland must designate in advance which skater's result will count as the Olympic qualifier??
