The age limitation of the athletes is between 14 to 18
Just saying, Jason Brown is eligible, since 12/15/94 is after 1/1/1994 (the date give as the earliest allowable birth date.)
Joshua Farris is OK, too: 1/6/1995
Max Aaron is too old.
I'm assuming that Jason & Joshua are preferring to do US Nationals as seniors, and chose not to go...they certainly are qualified, though, since both are past US Junior medallists and current JGPF medallists.
As for Pairs, I'm crossing my fingers for the American Pair. I loooooved their program to "Titanic"!!!! Also, I'm impressed with that very young pair from Russia that recently skated at Russian Nationals. They remind me of Donlan & Speroff of the US. Here's hoping they are eligible and also are able to compete. ^)
As for everybody else, I know nothing, therefore it will be interesting to see brand new performers (hopefully IN shows us some coverage).
Lastly, I hope this brand new Youth Olympics is successful, unlike the Goodwill Games, which I absolutely fell in love with but unfortunately are no more (link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goodwill_Games ). On a positive note, at least Zhenya will forever hold the title of Goodwill Games Champion, because it was cancelled soon after.
Did you mean this new pair? Vasilisa DAVANKOVA and Andrei DEPUTAT ?
i love their Romeo and Juliet LP :yes:

No doubt they are amazing very talented young pair but I see them going to worlds , and I think there is an age eligibility on who will compete at Youth Olympics
Davankova is 13 and Deputat is 19 .
Isn't her 3lz-3Lo her money combo ? and this racks more points , I forgot where but i think there was she mentioned she needs to have this in the opening combo as this will tire her out but Adelina's problem is that its flawed from the start since most of the time Adelina flutzes
I also think Elizaveta needs to step it up, how about adding her 3A at Youth Olympics ?
I don't think there is that much pressure here and it will be just like Junior Grand Prix/Worlds were
they have to contend with Adelina and Elizaveta battling each other .
