The best result among Russians was achieved by Valentina Gusina, who stopped one step away from reaching the semifinals.

On September 19, the International Skating Union (ISU) allowed Russians to participate in the 2026 Olympic Games in a neutral status because it did not want discrimination. ISU President Jae Yel Kim noted that participation in the Olympic Games has been a dream for most athletes for 10, 15 and 20 years, and the Olympics can be once in a lifetime, so it is necessary to find a way to admit neutral athletes.
