About Timothy:
Timothy Goebel is a talented skater nicknamed "The Quad King." He is known for his many quads done and perfected in competition. So far, he has landed about 62 quads total in competion. He was also the first to land a quad salchow-triple jump in competion. Thats a LOT of quads! Recently, he competed in the U.S. Nationals this year. Falling on all of his required jumps, he skated a very disappointing performance. He had been suffering from daily pain that caused him a bad performance besides his skates. He finally decided to work with Dr. Yu to help cure his aches, forcing to withdraw from Nationals and the whole season.
