Hey guys. Just dropping this here because the views are so low ( only 569 after 2 days!), and they shouldn't be. It's the YouTube of the Yuzu interview with Scott Russell. Apparently it's geoblocked, but if you can get through, give it a view, so as to encourage the CBC to do more stuff like this.

 

 

I was able to watch it before and now I can't! At least here.  I had minimized it on my computer so I could watch it again and again and the website it's still on is https://www.cbc.ca/sports/figure-skating-star-yuzuru-hanyu-shares-his-emotional-journey-to-becoming-world-s-best-1.5499431   I wonder if that works.  It's not Youtube... Why and who would geoblock this? 

It's Geoblocked because it's embedded - see the next comment by me and go to YouTube directly.

 

And I'm also able to get the video on plain old Youtube.  Don't know who is blocking it from anyone...

This is NOT embedded - that may be where the problem is for people....  It has 5478 views so far.  Just go to YouTube - and query Yuzuru Hanyu (which is my default YouTube query...

I was watching directly from my YouTube recommended list! YouTube is so weird.

I'm guessing the link rockstaryuzu posted is from the official CBC youtube channel (it's geoblocked for me for I'm not sure).

The youtube link barbara posted is the same video but it was uploaded by another user and not CBC, so if the intention is to show CBC that folks are watching and the link from rockstaryuzu is geoblocked for you, I'd go with the link on CBC's website (below) that barbara shared earlier. It doesn't visibly show the clicks or views, but they must be tracking that somehow.

It is, isn't it?  What comes up changes every few days - or maybe if I look specifically for FAOI stuff, the next time, it might suggest some.  Lately, it has this video, the WR from 4CC and something from GP final as he top three.

yep. weird that barbara can see it but it's geoblocked for me :huh:

 

I'm sure the only reason that the views are so low is because of the geoblocking.

Yes it is, which is why I posted it. I wouldn't be surprised if someone over at CBC is watching to see those counts rocket up.

Aww one of the swans is named Yuzu! 

They confirmed it's named after our Yuzu <3

 

I stumbled upon this today. Such a great and touching edit. Brian is a very good and understanding coach. I greatly appreciate everything he has done for Yuzu :softYuzu:
