Junior and senior pairs do double or triple twist lifts featuring levels 1 through 4.

As far as I am aware, the only two variations allowed are lutz or lateral take - offs.

My question is, can pairs attempt the more rare double Axel or double loop twist lift as well?
 
Excellent question. Page 23 :)

Short Program

The Short Program must include one twist lift. A twist lift take-off is limited to a Lutz/Flip take-off by the Lady. The number of revolutions of the Lady rotating freely in the air is two (2) or three (3) for Seniors and Juniors.

Free Skating

In Free Skating the take-off can be different from Lutz/Flip take-off by the Lady (toe loop, axel). The number of revolutions in the twist lift is not limited. For Seniors and Juniors a Well Balanced Free Skating program must contain 1 twist lift.
