2025 Skate to Milano | ISU Olympic Figure Skating Qualifier
2025 Skate to Milano is an ISU Olympic Winter Games Figure Skating Qualifying event and is set to take place Sep 18-21, 2025, in Beijing, China. The event will feature the singles, pairs and ice dance disciplines in the senior categories.
This event provides nations with a final chance to claim berths for the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milano Cortina, particularly if they were unable to secure sufficient entries at the 2025 World Championships.
National federations may enter skaters in the Olympic Qualifying Competition if they meet specific conditions:
- The country did not secure any Olympic spots in a particular discipline at the World Championships.
- The country earned enough placement points at Worlds to qualify for two or three Olympic spots in a discipline, but not enough skaters or teams advanced to the free skate to confirm those spots. In this case, the federation may send one additional athlete or team to the Qualifying Competition in an attempt to secure the second or third spot. However, this skater or team must not have advanced to the free program at the World Championships.
The number of Olympic berths available at the Qualifying Competition is limited as follows:
- Men: 5 spots
- Women: 5 spots
- Pairs: 3 spots
- Ice Dance: 4 spots
At this event, each country may secure only one spot per discipline. The countries with the best placements will claim the available quotas until all spots are filled.
If any country that originally earned a place at the World Championships decides not to use it, that position will be added to the pool at the Qualifying Competition. Similarly, if a nation with multiple entries at Worlds loses spots due to its skaters’ results, those unused places will also be reassigned at this qualifying event.
The event will be conducted in accordance with the ISU Constitution and General Regulations, the ISU Special Regulations for Singes & Pairs Skating and Ice Dance, and relevant ISU Communications.
