The Ukrainian team is set to compete in three short track events at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo. Licenses were secured by Oleg Handey and Yelyzaveta Sydyorko.
In the past two months, additional licenses were contested at four stages of the USI World Tour.
Competitions took place from November 27 to 30 in Dordrecht, Netherlands.
Licenses in individual events were earned through the top 32 in the special Olympic qualification for the 500 m and 1000 m distances and top 36 for the 1500 m distance. The best three results of the top-ranked short trackers from each country were considered.
Handey maintained qualifying positions in both the 500 m and 1500 m, finishing 26th and 36th respectively.
Sydyorko secured the right for the 'blue and yellow' team to compete in the 500 m, where she placed 29th, bringing the only women's license for the team at the 2026 Olympics.
Licenses are not personal, meaning changes may occur from Ukraine for these spots.

• 10 – biathlon
