After the completion of the competition at the Nebelhorn Trophy, the draw took place for positions on the judging panels at the Olympics. Canada will be well represented

Here are the results, as posted by IceNetwork:

Countries that qualified entrants in the four disciplines, based on finishes at the 2017 World Figure Skating Championships and Nebelhorn, were entered into the draw. Thirteen countries were drawn for each of the four individual figure skating events. Only countries with at least one ISU-qualified judge who has officiated at a minimum of two ISU championships are eligible for the draw.

The panels were drawn as follows:

• Ladies: Russia, Canada, United States, Japan, Kazakhstan, South Korea, China, Belgium, Slovakia, France, Germany, Hungary, Latvia

• Men: Japan, China, Spain, Canada, United States, Russia, Israel, Uzbekistan, Latvia, Australia, Kazakhstan, France, Czech Republic

• Pairs: China, Germany, Russia, Canada, France, Italy, United States, Australia, Austria, Israel, Czech Republic, Finland, Hungary (The latter two countries will not have pairs entered in PyeongChang but were drawn to fill out the 13-judge allotment.)

• Ice dance: Canada, France, United States, Russia, Italy, Israel, Poland, Ukraine, China, Turkey, Spain, Slovak Republic, Japan

Team event judges: For each of the four disciplines in the Olympic team event, nine countries were drawn. A country does not have to compete in the team event to have a judge seated on the panel, but only judges nominated for at least one individual event can judge the team event.

Both Canada and China drew judges on all four panels. The United States will seat judges on the men's and ice dance panels, while Russia has a judge on the ladies panel only.
