Maybe now...but when she took Yulia and Adian to visit Marina and get new programs Eteri specifically said she was surprised at how structured her camp in Michigan was. She went as far as to say that she was amazed at how she could evenly divide up time with each skater. It really sounded as if back then (2015-16?) she wasn’t doing that herself.
I don’t think it’s that big of a deal really but I doubt she can give everyone equal one on one time. She has a big crew of coaches though and I suspect that everyone gets as much attention as they seek
I think she probably does skew towards giving more attention towards the students who have more success/potential, but this makes sense, I mean, you're going to give more attention to Zagitova about to go to worlds than someone like Morisi. As for the Marina thing, she probably was referring to the system of giving private lessons for set amount of times i.e. "dividing up her time" as opposed to doing sort of a team group practice everyday where she goes back and forth teaching different students, which is more common in Russia and Asian countries.
