She‘s been in that camp for like a month or so, whaaaat. How does Eteri do it?
I get that they all work insanely hard, but still, even considering a lot of hard work it seems crazy, the speed at which they learn quads is insane.

Was she working on quads before she went to Eteri? That was so fast!Alena Kanysheva 4T

She is amazing! As is her staff of coaches and choreographers. They are truly a great team.She‘s been in that camp for like a month or so, whaaaat. How does Eteri do it?

All credits should go to Dudakov. He is the main tech coach and Eteri is not even there now.
Well, I'm not Russian, so my feelings for either Alina or Lilbet aren't national. I'm big fan of Alina (who would guess) and I like Lilbet too. If she will defeat Alina in the future honestly, what I (or anybody else) could say about it? I will not stop being fan of Alina and won't stop liking Lilbet
As for Eteri Georgievna, she never preferred any skater she is coaching despite other things. If RusFed will have troubles that a skater not representing Russia is defeating the one who is, than it is a problem between Eteri and RusFen, not a question for me. But that is more or less hypothetical.
Alina, if she intends to continue (which she probably does), is aware that she should have at least one quad/3A (the other is less probable), she is training 4F and due to her highly competitive personality and astounding physical skills I can easily say she has a fair chance to master such jump. For the beginning she even doesn't need multiple quad jumps as she was able to defeat skaters with 3A/4S. She also has the advantage that she's been through puberty already, while Sasha, Anna and even Rika can still expect some body changes. Also Alina is the one from whom I would expect that she would say when Anna, Sasha and Lilbet can jump quads, why couldn't I.
That's all tghat can be said about it now.

Well there was one skater EG preferred and we all know what her name is. She was also her second daughter until a year ago. It was evident at the Olympic Games.
Yes Alina has some advantages over her younger teammates especially with experience and puberty. It will be fascinating to see if the Olympic champion really wants to learn triple axel and quad jumps. She's won everything as a junior and senior by the age of 16 so maybe just maybe she'll be happy being competitive in the next couple years without having a triple Axel or quads. No matter what happens it will be very interesting and exciting to follow.
Does Kanysheva still have her old “textbook” technique? It looks less PR that Anya Shcherbakova’s quads.
I repeat, Eteri Georgievna never preferred any skater she is coaching despite other things. By "preference" I mean giving more attention in training (or "giving more advanced programs" ), by "other things" I mean personal relations. She probably really felt connected with "one other skater", as you call her, than with the others, but this fact didn't prevent her to coach her other student to be equal (and they were equal, the competition was very balanced, one small thing could make the difference, not like this year's world championship, where the victory was by a margin - we say "by a steamer").
Now, Alina is in Eteri's personal favor, but that does not mean that Eteri would provide her some extra special treatment (preference from a training perspective). Eteri's strategy is obviously to get the best possible out of every skater she is training "despite oter things."
