Figure skating at the 1994 Winter Olympics

1

The 1994 Winter Olympics figure skating competition was held at the Hamar Olympic Amphitheatre in Norway.

Qualifying

As host, Norway automatically qualified spots to the 1994 Olympics. In 1992, however, the Norwegian Olympic Committee announced that skaters aspiring to be selected for Norway would have to finish in the top 12 at the European or World Championships. Since none met this requirement, Norway opted to withdraw from all the events. Although Leslie Monod / Cédric Monod's result at the 1993 World Championships allowed Switzerland to send two pairs to the Olympics, the Swiss Olympic Association elected not to send a pair after the Monods finished 11th at the 1994 European Championships. This rule was also applied for the bobsleigh events.
