The women's skeleton event at the 2018 Winter Olympics will take place on 16–17 February at the Alpensia Sliding Centre near Pyeongchang, South Korea.[1]
Qualification
20 athletes qualified. Qualification is based on the combined rankings (across all four tours) as of January 14, 2018. The top two countries received three quotas each, the next four received two each and the last six were awarded to six different countries. The Netherlands rejected one of its two quotas. Women had to be ranked in the top 45, after eliminating non-quota-earning competitors from countries that have earned their maximum quota. Nigeria was awarded the continental quota for Africa, while Australia received the Oceania quota. South Korea qualified as host nation.[2] Competitors must compete in five different races on three different tracks during the 2016/17 season or 2017/18 season.[3]
