Singapore qualified two short track speed skaters (one per gender).[3] Originally Singapore earned one quota, but was later awarded an additional quota as part of the reallocation of unused quota spots process.[4][5] Singapore's best result was a 13th place finish by Ryo Ong, in the men's 1500 metres event. This marked the first time an athlete from Singapore advanced to the semifinals of an event at the Winter Youth Olympics.[6]
