She was named late to the Russian Olympic Team

was named to the team; however, Jarkova was taken out at the last minute and Sidorova was added to the team. For the fifth match, against the USA, and the sixth match, against Switzerland, Sidorova replaced Ludmila Privivkova
as skip. She also replaced Ludmila Privivkova
