Qualification
edit64 skaters (32 per gender) will qualify to compete. The top four countries ranked in the women's 500 metres and men's 1000 metres events at the 2019 World Junior Short Track Speed Skating Championships qualified two athletes for the respective gender. The rest of the spots were awarded one per NOC until the total quota was complete. The host nation has the right to enter one athlete in each event if not qualified.[3]
- Switzerland did not qualify a male skater. However, as host nation is entitled to enter one male athlete. If the country chooses to do so, it would replace Bulgaria in the competition. Switzerland did decide to use its men's quota.
- Australia, Slovenia and Sweden declined girls' quotas. These spots were not reallocated.
- Luxembourg, Serbia and Slovenia did not use boys' quotas. These were reallocated to Bulgaria, Singapore and Croatia
