Simply clean skating.What did Feditchkina do to beat Gubanova and Tsurskaya in the SP? Her technical mark is higher than theirs.
Konkina 05 Jul 2001, Junior from next season.
Revia 03 Apr 1999.
They have many Junior seasons in future.
Pair has very bad combination of age of partners.
This is not about what you were referring but indeed russian pairs have really bad combination of age when thinking about the youth olympics next year. I could't find any good eligible pairs.
At YOG-2012 were Ladies and Men born at 1996-1997 and male partners born at 1994-1997.They also have the youth olympics next year. I think they are at the moment the number 1 ice dancers in Russia eligible for the youth olympics.

For the ladies things looks great of course - Sotskova, Sakhanovich, Tsurskaya, Proklova and so on are all eligible. Who ever will Russia send they will have to do pretty great to match those who Russia sent at the previous youth olympics. Tuktamysheva and Sotnikova were 1st and 2nd at the previous youth olympics and their later careers has been highly successful as well.
By the way there are youth olympics spots to be taken at the upcoming world junior championships. The countries which will place at the podium will get 2 spots for that event in the youth olympics. Russia has a very good chance to get maximum 2 spot for all events.
What are the age criteria for pairs for the youth olympics? Ekaterina Borisova – Dmitriy Sopot could be age eligible. They are not any brilliant, but they were 4th at the Russian cup final. Maybe also Maria Chuzhanova - Denis Mintsev.
If the age criteria will be too narrow, it won't be only Russia who will struggle to send a pair. Other countries will struggle even more. (Like when ISU planned to decrease the age for male partner from 21 to 19 and then it had to be abandoned because there would be no junior pairs.)
At YOG-2012 were Ladies and Men born at 1996-1997 and male partners born at 1994-1997.
Probably at YOG-2016 will be Men and Ladies born at 2000-2001 and male partners born at 1998-2001.
Russia has enough talented skaters in this age range.

Unfortunately Medvedeva (probably best Junior Lady for now) is not eligible. But there are Sotskova, Sakhanovich, Proklova, Tsurskay, Fedichkina etc who are eligible.
Yes, that's right. Singles must have born either 2000 or 2001 but male partners can be 2 years olders. By the way, I think Fedichkina is born 2002 therefor isn't eligible.
Who are the best pairs at this age group?
Just found it on the official webside:
