The 2021 Russian mixed doubles curling Olympic trials were held from September 21 to 25 and October 16 to 20 at the Yug Sport Complex in Kislovodsk, Russia.[1] [2] The winning pair of Anna Sidorova and Alexey Timofeev earned the right to represent the Russian Olympic Committee at the Olympic Qualification Event. There, they went 4–2 through the round robin, qualifying for the playoffs. After defeating Hungary in the semifinals, they were beaten by the United States in the qualification final, not advancing to the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, China.[3]
The trials process was contested between six teams. It was held in two legs where a double round robin format was played in each. In the second leg, only eight of the ten draws needed to be played before Anna Sidorova and Alexey Timofeev were declared the winners. Had another team won the second leg, a best-of-three series would've been held between the winners of the first and second legs to determine the champion.[4] The other five pairs included Nkeirouka Ezekh and Alexey Stukalskiy, Maria Komarova and Daniil Goriachev, Daria Morozova and Oleg Krasikov, Anastasia Moskaleva and Alexander Eremin and Anna Samoylik and Mikhail Vaskov.[5]
