Good luck to the new pair!
I'm sorry that will be even more difficult to get into pairs team for Biryukova:no:
Stolbova&Klimov, Antipova&Maisuradze are already much stronger than them. New partnerships of Davankova&Enbert and Bazarova&Deputat seems also stronger. With Volosozhar&Trankov not retiring and there are others, I'm really sorry for Sofia. But maybe after 2018, their time may come.
And, Pair skaters usually stay around longer than singles, so they have time to develop... But does he have any Pairs experience at all?With Sofia's current level of skating, she'll have difficulty staying in top 10 of Russian Nationals. At least with pairs she may have some decent results.

I think Sofia is a little too tall for pairs too.
