Timothy Richard Goebel was born on September 10,
1980 in Evanston, Illinois, son of Ginny and Rick
Goebel.  He is  best known for winning the Olympic
bronze medal in men's figure skating at the 2002
Winter Olympic Games.

The "Quad King" made history at the 2002 Olympics
by successfully landing a quad Salchow in
combination, the first to do so in Olympic
competition. At Skate America (an International
Skating Union Grand Prix competition) in Colorado
Springs on Oct. 31, 1999, he placed second and set
a new standard of difficulty for the sport as the
first-ever to land three quadruple jumps in one
program, as well as landing two different quad
jumps in a single program.

Timothy had already made the history books twice
on March 7, 1998, in Lausanne, Switzerland, when
he became the first American skater to land a
clean quadruple jump in ISU competition. At the
same time, he became the first skater in the world
to land a quadruple Salchow.

Timothy’s repertoire of quadruple jumps that are
unmatched in the history of figure skating makes
him one of the best skaters in the world.

Because of his quads, Timothy is a threat to win
every competition he enters. His choreography and
artistry has strengthened throughout the years to
where he is one of the most complete skaters in
the world.

Timothy represents the Winterhurst FSC.  His is
currently coached by Audrey Weisiger in Fairfax,
Virginia.
