Trophy, held between September 23 and September 26, 2009. Countries which had already earned an entry to the Olympics were not allowed to qualify more entries at this final qualifying competition. Unlike at the World Championships, where countries could qualify more than one spot depending on the placement of the skater, at the Nebelhorn Trophy, countries who qualified were allotted only one spot to the Olympics, regardless of placement. If a country declined to use one or more of its qualified spots, the vacated spot was awarded using the results of the Nebelhorn Trophy in descending order of placement. Qualified countries Men's singles Ladies' singles † Israel declined their spot, which was allocated to Australia. Georgia declined their second spot before the Nebelhorn Trophy, which was allocated to Uzbekistan. Pair skating Ice dance Lithuania had qualified an entry in ice dance, but were forced to pull out due to Katherine Copely not being granted Lithuanian citizenship. Declined entries Before the Nebelhorn Trophy, Georgia informed the ISU that it would not be using its second entry. Therefore, seven countries qualified in the ladies discipline at that competition. The Olympic Committee of Israel decided on January 24, 2010, not to send a skater in the ladies event.
