Blades of Glory

After attempted sabotage by the brother and sister pairs team, Stranz and Fairchild Van Waldenberg, Chazz Michael Michaels (Will Ferrell) and Jimmy MacElroy (Jon Heder) get to the ice with seconds to spare before disqualification.They start their final skate to try and win the tournament and, when Fairchild sees it going well, she breaks her necklace spilling beads onto the ice. Chazz skates into one lone bead on the ice and breaks his ankle meaning he can't perform the Iron Lotus - the most dangerous and controversial move in all the skating world.Jimmy tells Chazz they'll swop places and he'll lift Chazz...they go for it and with millimetres to spare they pull it off and land it superbly.They win the gold, Jimmy gets his girl, and the Van Waldenberg's are arrested for numerous illicit activities...at which point they erupt into a massive row and share a passionate embrace.

Factual error: Early in the movie we see the newspaper dated "Sunday, March 14, 1987". March 14, 1987 was a Saturday, not a Sunday.

Question: So is the loophole used to get Chazz and Jimmy back into the figure skating arena actually in the Olympic Pairs skating rules somewhere?

Answer: No. International Skating Union regulations clearly states that the pair has to be a man and a woman.

That wasn't the loophole. The loophole was that a ban is only good for the division where the skater was banned. If they were banned in singles, they could still compete in pairs.
