On 15 February, Regino Hernández became Spain's first Winter Olympic medalist in 26 years (since the 1992 Winter Olympics) when he won the bronze medal in men's snowboard cross.[2] He also became the first ever Olympic medalist in snowboarding for Spain, with all previous Spanish Winter Olympic medals coming from alpine skiing disciplines.
Based on placements in the 2017 World Figure Skating Championships in Helsinki, Finland, Spain qualified 4 athletes (3 male and 1 female) in the men's singles and ice dancing events.[5]
One of the men's quotas was directly given to Javier Fernández, the other men's quota and the ice dance quota was decided according to the 2017 CS Golden Spin of Zagreb and the National Championships results.[6]
