Elizaveta on Japanese TV.
Some general notes on the clip:
They concentrated mostly on how sexy she was in her performances, her triple axel, and the up-coming rivalry with Mao.
The male commentator was a bit of a sleaze-ball but I think that is his function on this show. The lady was very polite and complementary (so was the guy).
Elizaveta's answers were very good and confident.
Male interviewer: Why are you so sexy?
That's due to my parents
Female interviwer: Is there anywhere you like to go in Japan?
The ice rink
F: Do you look like your mother or your father?
People say different things, but I think I look like my mother.
F: You can jump a triple axel, so what do you think of Mao's return to competition?
I really love Mao, she's a very good competitor and to have such a good competitor return will make competitons more fun, and I'd like to go against her to see whose triple axel is better.
F: Did Mao's Triple Axel have an effect on your Triple axel?
She showed me that it is possible to jump a triple axel. And I watched her triple axel when she was younger and had influence from that. But mostly, my coach has had the most influence on the triple axel.
F: Honestly, how difficult is the triple axel?
It s very difficult, psychologically and physically, but if you have a good coach you can jump it and once you jump it once it is not so difficult afterward.
Second female: I saw your triple axel live at a competition and you did with such lightness and ease. Now that Mao will return, will you put one in your short and free programs?
Depending, I may put 2 in the free.
F: wow, are you very confident in your ability with the tirple axel?
I don't have complete confidence, but I have the urge to advance, and you cannot advance unless you try.
M: Though you are just 18, how can you do such sexy performances. (I've been on this subject the whole time)
These moves, taking your hat off etc. is this your own idea?
About the Exhibition, it was the idea of my manager. But I also wanted to do a number like this myself, I have fun doing it so I think the audience also enjoys it.
M: What is the secret to your beauty? Outside skating?
I don't have any secrets of beauty. But I think loving myself and accepting myself will lead to others loving me too.
They compliment her on her beauty especially her eyes.
Like her eyes will draw you in.
F: When you perform, is there something you try to set as a goal?
Though everything is important, the movements of hands and body, as a professional, I'd like to bring them to perfection.
F: Well you truly are a professional, and as someone who is at the top of the World, what are your wishes for the future?
First, last season was a success, so for the next season I'd like to put 2 triple axels in my Free Program.
That's it for Sports. But in 2 years, I'd like to think of other things outside sports.
F: What things?
I won't know until then, but I may want to think of other things.
F: You'll be 20 years old then. I see. This has been very interesting.
M: Do you have anything to say to the Japanese fans?
Let's Jump the Triple Axel!
Man makes extremely lame joke. The lady tells Liza to ignore him.
