I don't expect to hear Yuzu a great deal on this Australian show especially seeing as he's listed last. I think they'll interview Brendan and Jackie for the bulk of it, maybe interviewed Tracy at a competition and got Yuzu for a couple of questions at the same competition. Probably none of it will be live and some of it will involve 1) 10 min of discussion of Poohs, 2) Jackie being very complimentary and nice toward Yuzu himself but throwing his whole fandom under the bus as internet bullies, 3) selective editing of fan interviews to make them look shallow and obsessive.

 

(I have so much faith in English speaking media re: Yuzuru, as you can see. 😆)

Anyway, if it gets any more Aussies interested in Yuzu and Pooh, I’ll be mighty happy!

Why they decided to ask Jackie? He's just random american media representative/lobbyst. They could have asked Shuzo or Nobu or Shizuka and get much more interesting input from Yuzuru's domestic environment and acutal FS competent specialist. But ok, I guess they just play it pop. Wait and see, if that's mean any new content from Tracy and Zu - it's always a treat

I was thinking it might also be a charity thing to support fight against the fires, in which case I could imagine Yuzu actually talking for longer than 5s.

I don't think the radio show has anything to do with supporting the fires directly. I've checked the credits and clicked on the producer of the show and this is what it said.

 

 

It looks like they're trying to get some understanding of what this Yuzu phenomenon is. I won't be surprised if none of Yuzu's parts are new and made up with just some interviews from before.

That sounds like an interesting programme, though perhaps could be not all complimentary towards Fanyus.

ABC is generally pretty fair and objective. They're one of the more reputable networks in Australia. They're government owned but they are not a mouthpiece for the government - every so often there's scandals of people getting fired or investigated from ABC or the other public network because of the things they say or publish that the government doesn't like but the government usually gets called out on breaking their own rules for doing it. 

 

If they have anything negative they're going to bring up, I'm sure it'll be about how our poor Zu can't have a peaceful day out with his family in Japan or something like that or about the worst of his fans and how they treat other skaters etc.

Ok, I suppose it’ll be mostly interviews garnered at different times - what interests me is the angle they are going for. I don’t expect WE will hear anything new, but Australian listeners might learn a thing or two if they are not Fanyus already. 

Can there be any feedback about the programme!

It’s like taking Michelangelo’s David and dressing it up with Miss Havisham’s tangerine loungewear.

If he knows about the devastation in Australia, I'm sure he'd be inclined to help support the recovery efforts.  Maybe this broadcast will inform all the Fanyus around the world (who now know about this interview broadcast next week) and inspire them to donate to the efforts.  They can use all the help they can get and we are all known to follow the generosity shown by Yuzu.

I am wondering about the coaching situation at WC.

 

How many TCC coaches can go there? With Yuzu and Jun qualified, Brian and Ghislain got their tickets, but how about Tracy?

Med is out, so do we have to wait for the outcome of Jason?

Is Poland sending Kurakova not to WC but to JWC?

What if Tracy is going to work for a Canadian TV, she won't be available? 

Sorry, too many questions.

@cronkite Tracy is definitely difficult to pin down...She’s commentating Nats right now but I have no idea where she’ll be for the WC. I’d assume because we’ll be in Quebec, CTV will be covering whom Tracy is commentator for, so that’s likely what she’ll be doing. I’d bet he’ll have Brian for sure and perhaps Ghislain for the K&C.

They wouldn't dare leave him alone after the A4 attempts at Turin surely! 

[winnieshome]

@Louitunes They'd better not! I'd take the car and be there for him myself! Road trip, here I come! No A4s for you, Yuzu!!!!

Thank you for the info.
As long as "the Holy Trinity" are present at WC, I would be happy.

Don't.....  all those who saw him at Turin were nearly having heart attacks as he kept falling in his back. Perhaps they taught him to land this way to save any ankle injury?
