NOTE: In order to enter 3 skaters in individual distances, a country must have at least 2 skaters in the Top 16 overall, with at least 1 of those skaters earning Final points. Unfortunately, we did not meet that threshold for either the ladies or men - so next year we’ll only have 2 skaters in the individual distances…
