The 2009 Nebelhorn Trophy was the Nebelhorn Trophy figure skating competition of the 2009-2010 figure skating season. It served as the final Olympic qualifier to the 2010 Winter Olympics. Skaters competed in the disciplines of men's singles, ladies singles, pair skating, and ice dancing.

The event was held between September 23 and 26, 2009 in Oberstdorf, Germany. The compulsory dance was the Tango Romantica.

[edit] Olympic qualification

This competition served as the final Olympic qualifier to the 2010 Winter Olympics. Eligible skaters qualified a spot to the Olympics for their country in order of their placement at this competition; there was no individual skater qualification. Countries who had already qualified a spot to the Olympics at the 2009 World Figure Skating Championships were not eligible to qualify more spots here, and their results were discounted from the overall results when allotting spots to countries. Unlike at the World Championships, where countries could qualify more than one spot depending on the placement of the skater, at this competition, countries who qualified were allotted only one spot to the Olympics, regardless of placement.

There were 6 Olympic spots available in men's singles, 7 in ladies singles, 4 in pairs, and 5 in ice dancing. There were originally only 6 spots available in the ladies event; however, Georgia gave up one of its ladies spots before the competition, which allowed a 7th spot to become available.

If a country later 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.

[edit] Qualified countries

The following countries qualified an entry to the Olympics^[1]. In the event that a country chooses not to fill a spot, the next alternate in line is allotted the spot.
