The news article version of the ABC piece in Australia is out.

4CC this year hasn't even happened yet and they are already doing the advertisement for 4CC Sydney next year LOL
"The star quality of Yuzuru Hanyu has been likened to that of Usain Bolt.
He's one of the world's greatest athletes, but if you live in Australia, chances are you've never heard of Yuzuru Hanyu.
Dubbed the "god of figure skating", the two-time Olympic gold champion has smashed world records 18 times over and raked in $19 million in endorsements.
And the fans that obsessively follow Hanyu to competitions in every corner of the world are a spectacle in and of themselves.
Waving handmade banners, hysterically cheering, and throwing gifts and plush toys onto the ice, this legion of loyal fans call themselves Hanyu fans.
And they — along with Hanyu himself — might just be coming to an ice rink near you."
