Polina Kostiukovich & Dmitrii Ialin

They are eligible but I really think she needs more stable jumps before they should move to seniors.
Now that S/K and A/R are out, and also multiple good international pairs are out, one could say that a 3rd Russian Junior pair should have moved to seniors along with Pavliuchenko / Khodykin and Boikova / Kozlovskii. For example Mishina/Galiamov would have done very well in GP I am sure. Poluianova/Sopot could have got at least one GP also.
I think it is more beneficial for the pairs to get to the top of juniors before moving to seniors, if at all possible. In seniors they would be just at the bottom if they were not even at the top in juniors. Look at Alexandrovskaya/Windsor. At the top in juniors, but getting through in seniors is hard. So how much harder it would be for any Russian junior pair, (who is not even the only pair or the top pair in their own country) if they tried to move up without getting to the top in juniors? Alexandrovskaya/Windsor finished 15th at worlds. While it is not a bad result, someone like Poluyanova/Sopot are much worse so they may not even get to the FS.
Check out how high their twist is. 2nd pic of the set is the best pic.

Good luck

Not their best SP but they did pretty good. They are 1st after SP. Their lead is about 6 points.

Great job today. It is great to see that Polina has become a lot more stable jumper this season. If they will add the quad twist then even M/G can't beat them if they will skate pretty clean.

1st Russian Cup event. They were 2nd. A/K beat them by about 0.6 points.

Great SP, FS... not really
They have still a week to work on their jumps. Hope for a revenge in Ostrava

High praise from Ted Barton for Polina and Dmitrii today. He said that they reminded him of Gordeeva and Grinkov and that they are the best junior team he's seen in his years commentating the JGP. I'm not sure if I'd go quite that far, but these two are certainly special 
Well, they didn't win but they did good nonetheless. The competition between the four best pairs will be very tough at the JGP Final and none of the pairs can afford a fall like Polina had in FS if they want to win.
By the way, Polina & Dima broke the old world junior SP record held by M/G. M/G still has the combined total and FS records.

Wow, what a great FS today at the 4th stage of Russia Cup. Polina's 2nd 3S on her combo was still UR but other than that they were superb, and they did a level 2 quad twist. Their FS TES was about 72 points and FS score was about 136.5 points. If they can skate like this at the Russian Nationals we really might see them at Euros (and Worlds) this season.

Polina and Dmitri just won the 4th stage of the Russian Cup (in the senior division) with a massive score of 204.12!!
They brought back their quad twist in the free and landed all their side by side jumps! The only major error was in the short program where Polina landed the 3sal throw a bit too far forwards and had to put her hands on the ice.

I don't know about that. At 5th stage of Russian Cup they receiced 7.52 points for their 3Tw3 in SP but only 6.62 points for their 4Tw2 in FS. So, they should really think hard if it is indeed beneficial to do a quad twist in FS.

Yeah, I get why they're trying it at the moment but in the FS for example they actually got a full point less for their twist than A/K did. If they can do it cleanly with a good level and a positive GOE it might help them catch M/G in the final and could provide a buffer for jumping errors but if they do the quad twist the way they did it here and A/K go clean then they could end up in 3rd place.
If I were them I'd save it for Russian Senior Nats. They won't get on the podium there anyway (most likely) and it will get everyone talking about them even more.
