Most likely she addresses Eteri as "Eteri Georgievna." It is the first name, followed by the maiden name. This is the custom in Russian culture of how to address your superiors, how to address certain persons in a formal/work place environment, how to address seniors. For instance, TAT, is always addressed as Tatiana Anatolyevna by everyone including Yagudin, Kulik, etc.

Thank you for sharing a full video!
Also, thank you for your kind comments for my translation. It’s so nice if my J to E translation can help more people to know Alina’s charming personality.
As for ‘ideal type of boyfriend’ question, our TV producers tend to treat skaters as idols, because figure skating is very popular here and they are the stars. So, if you are a (single) figure skater and interviewed for a talk show, it might be impossible to avoid that question. Almost all Japanese famous skaters including Yuzuru and Shoma already became the victims.
So, sorry Alina…About TV program on which Alina appeared, yes, it is definitely the mainstream.
“Bibitto”, which I translated, is a daily morning show broadcasted on a nationwide network. Alina will also appear on “Thank You, Creatures!” tomorrow night. The show is also nationwide. (You can watch a sneak peek from the following link.)

A picture on SNS even indicates Alina, Kaetlyn and Javi have finished shooting for ‘Fire Athletic TV’, which some of you may remember because Sailor-Moon Zhenya appeared on it last year!

Thank you for your insights, it's very appreciated, because I'm sure many people here are interested to know what happens with her in Japan, but we don't understand japanese

Your awesome translations are a life saver, they enhanced my enjoyment of her presence on the shows and allowed me to see her amazing personality shinning through.
I'm very curious about what time these new TV appearances are on. I'm guessing "Thank You Creatures" is on April 11th 7pm based on the screenshots I've seen that show Alina with her cat, but the other one "Fire Athletic TV" I'm not sure when it's on and couldn't find it anywhere on the TBS site (though I can't really read or speak Japanese, and Google Translator can barely do it, so that's probably why).
Thanks for feeding the fandom.

I don't think there is anything to apologize for.... they asked - she answered - and they didn't keep "harping" on it.
It is fantastic that they dedicated 30 minutes of a national TV show to Alina.
It looked like she really enjoyed herself and for the most part seemed entirely at ease.
Also - they cared enough to research aspects of her life other than skating and I think that is wonderful.
They seemed interested in her as a person and not just a skater.

I watched the "sneak peek" and I am pretty sure Alina said something in Japanese and then said "Thank You" in English.
This is the first time I have heard her speak anything other than Russian!
Maybe she said "creatures" in Japanese? (see the name of the show)
I included just a small clip from the "sneak peek" where she speaks. I hope I did it correctly....

I’m so excited to see the next two Japanese TV appearances from Alina.
What a great reap from the Japan SOI.
We have the special on Wed about her and then the game show with Kaetlyn and Javi also coming up.
Hope we get to see it posted up somewhere to enjoy.
I’m so curious about the game show.
And in a few days she’ll have the LG Ice Show in Korea, hope we get some great stuff from that too.
In the meantime I hope she is having some great downtime with the family back home.

Thank you, lesnar001!
Yes, Alina spoke the title of the show “生き物にサンキュー (Ikimono (creatures) ni Thank You)”. Her pronunciation is lovely
: It’s going to be aired tonight (April 11th 7pm, JP time). I’m sure somebody will post the video somewhere. Actually, since the Olympics had finished, I’ve seen Alina this Alina that almost every day in the Japanese media, especially in something related to Akita dog, which is planned to be sent to her in the end of May or beginning of June.About the show on which Alina, Kaetlyn and Javi will appear, I searched online but cannot find the air date at the moment. I’ll post as soon as I catch the information.

The video grouping together all her segments is up on YouTube. Will try to link to it here.
I’ve watched the whole 2h show, she was on for a total of 30min of that and it seemed to focus on pets, and maybe some pet choice suggestions for her (they showed her lots of videos of pets). And the rest of the segments had people and their pets.
Even a bunch of Akitas, one was a white puppy that they superimposed Alina’s pic during the segment. They did that to a bunch of the other Akitas’ segments too.
Her cat’s name is Iriska, I understand that means toffee in Russian but I might be wrong, and she showed a cute picture on her phone of her sleeping with Iriska. They also showed a picture of her crying (after her FS on Worlds) só maybe they talked about how the cat gives her emotional support.
Hope the link to the video works and enjoy.

In the "creature " show, she was wearing this strange white "thing" on her feet. It looks like sock, but is not sock. Is this something from Japan or Russia?

Thought to share this here because I never get tired of watching this, it so, great!
Fan cam of Alina's FS from the Olympics, you can really see how much Ice she covered and how well timed her jumps are here. It is shown from a wide angle with no close ups but you can really see how great it really is.

To me it looks like one of those socks made to walk at home (in lieu of slippers) that have anti skid dots on the bottom. I had a few and they are fluffier and made in a way that is better to use without shoes (actually tried to use them with shoes once and the anti skid dots kept sticking to the inside of the shoe and it was quite uncomfortable).
