It's not very often that the fabulous Kathy Johnson gives media interviews, but The Blade Boys were able to catch up with her at Trophée Eric Bompard last weekend! We were able to get some insights into Patrick's skating, return to competition, new programs/elements, and her coaching style. Love the way she also addresses the online criticism! We always say the haters gon' hate, but the skaters gon' skate... you keep doing your thing, Miss Kathy!
She was incredibly sweet and we really appreciate her giving us this interview.
(This happened literally right before the announcement of TEB's cancellation, so we had to cut it off abruptly. But hopefully you enjoy up until then! )
You're welcome. As to why they cut it, I have no idea. It kind of makes sense, since technically that wasn't part of the interview. Still, I'm surprised that they posted it with that in and then went back and edited it out, as opposed to editing it out before they posted it. It was a fun surprise to hear Patrick's voice, while it lasted.Thanks for summarizing, Skatingfan4ever.
Darn! Just went to re-watch the video interview with Kathy Johnson, and they cut out the part at the end with Patrick's voice! I wonder why they did that?

CBC News: Patrick Chan should qualify for figure skating's Grand Prix Final
http://www.cbc.ca/sports/olympics/w...han-should-qualify-grand-prix-final-1.3331109
Hey, I announced it before they did. GS decided to erase the evidence by deleting the thread. :angry2:
Patrick should be the 6th placed Man with 22 points by the special GPF 2015 qualification. He is currently third with three possible GPF entries from NHK with 13 points each. If each of them medals, they will earn 28, 26, and 24 points and place ahead of Patrick. In the unlikely event of Hochstein winning NHK, one of the 13 pointers will have 22 points but Patrick will win the tie breaker in all cases of 22 pointers, by virtue of his SC gold medal.
pshhh i announced it when i found out JB was out of nhk… way before that thread evidence up there
Waaaaa............
OK, we are not going back to search for even earlier evidences but let's agree that we all knew Patrick would be in.
Where is the High 5 emoticon?
Hey, we're celebrating. Now that it's official. Well, official by us anyway.

It was a very long program that received mixed reviews as many didn't get the story. Patrick and Scott had a fight. Then there was a very exciting segment with the two of them speed skating through other skaters over the whole rink, with close misses with each other. The program ended with peace and harmony in the originally selfish and quarrelsome community.
Oh, the video? I haven't seen any yet. Maybe it will be found and linked here.
