A citizenship tweak has allowed Russian-born Anastasia Golubeva to skate for Australia at next month's Milan-Cortina Olympics, with four ice skaters the first athletes named to the team.

The 20-year-old will partner Hektor Giotopoulos Moore in the pairs event while Holly Harris and Jason Chan are also set to make their Olympic debut, competing in the ice dance.
