Russian figure skaters plan to appeal neutral status denial in CAS. This was reported by Sports. Here’s a translation.
“Russian figure skaters are preparing to challenge the denial of neutral status through the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). Work on this process has already begun, and documents are being prepared. According to Sports sources, the Russian side has sought assistance from Swiss lawyers who are exploring all possible legal options.
The International Skating Union (ISU) granted neutral status for the Olympic qualification competition only to Russian singles skaters. Pairs and ice dance duos were not granted approval.
In pairs skating, Russia’s application included Anastasia Mishina and Aleksandr Galliamov as the primary candidates, with Aleksandra Boikova and Dmitri Kozlovskii as alternates.
In ice dance, the primary candidates were Aleksandra Stepanova and Ivan Bukin, with Vasilisa Kaganovskaya and Maxim Nekrasov listed as alternates.
The Olympic qualification tournament will be held in Beijing this September.”

It is reasonable to try, but I would not rely on CAS’s impartiality.
Yeah, on a bare bones team, I wouldn’t be to happy either
I hope they can challenge it. I want to see the russians in all the discipline
