Figure skating

In the 2021 World Figure Skating Championships in Stockholm, Sweden, Japan secured three quotas in both the men's and ladies singles competitions, and one each in the pairs and ice dance competitions.[15]

The Japan won bronze medals in the team event, which were not awarded at the Olympics due to pending investigation into a Russian doping scandal. The investigation was still ongoing as of 2023,[16] with the final decision announced in early 2024. The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) recommended the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to upgrade the Japan team to silver, which it did, bringing the country's silver medal tally to seven.
