I think this section should answer your questions.

The number of entries for the figure skating events at the Olympic Games is limited by a quota set by the International Olympic Committee. There are 30 participants in each singles events (ladies and men), 20 pairs, and 24 ice dance duos.

Skaters must represent a

Competitors have until just before the Olympics to receive citizenship. Since nationality rules are less strict for the ISU Championships, sometimes skaters who have competed at World or European championships are not eligible for the Olympics.

80% of the Olympic spots (24 men/ladies, 19 dance couples, 16 pairs) are allotted to countries according to the results of the previous year's

. A country may have a maximum of three entries per discipline. Countries earn two or three entries by earning points through their skaters' placements. The points are equal to the sum of the placements of the country's skaters (top two if they have three). If a country only has one skater/couple, that skater/couple must place in the top ten to earn two entries and in the top two to earn three entries. If a country has two skaters/teams, the combined placement of those teams must be 13 or less to qualify 3 entries, and 28 or less to qualify two entries. The remaining places are awarded to one skater/couple each from countries that failed to get multiple places, in order of their skaters' placement in the world championships.

Following the World Championships, countries that have not qualified an entry in a particular discipline receive another opportunity in an international competition held in the autumn (usually the

) prior to the Olympic Games. Six spots are available in men's singles, six in ladies' singles, four in pairs, and five in ice dance. At some Olympics, the host country is automatically entitled to one entry in each discipline, e.g. in 1994,

If a country receives a spot by being the host, one fewer spot is available in the autumn qualifying competition.

The selection of representatives is at the national governing body's discretion. Some countries rely on the results of their national championships while others have more varied criteria. This may include reaching a certain placement at the

So much for the: "We don't hate the Chinese people, we only hate the CCP!" bull crap. Now the NYT is nakedly attacking the Chinese people. And they had to outsource the writing to an Asian, so that her white masters don't get the backlash. Very cheeky.

Its getting increasingly easy to debunk the Western media lies. Its too easy to expose their racism, no matter how many sellout Asians they wanna hide behind.

Eventually, most Asians would have noticed the contradiction of the MSM. However, the damage is already done. Those crazy lunatics are already attacking Asians all over Western countries. It isn't coincidence that so many unprovoked attacks are all targeting Asians. That guy which killed two Chinese at a Buffet claiming he is doing to protect women. Guess what this lunatic probably read and watch too much MSM propaganda.
