Editing Timothy Goebel (section)

== Career ==
Early in his career, Goebel was coached by [[Carol Heiss Jenkins]] and Glyn Watts near his Illinois home and then moved to California to work with [[Frank Carroll (figure skater)|Frank Carroll]].<ref name=Mittan1997/>

During his skating career and prior to the arrival of [[Nathan Chen]] to the sport, Goebel was sometimes referred to as the "Quad King"<ref name=USAT030223/><ref name=radno /> because of his ability to land [[quadruple jump]]s. On March 7, 1998, in [[Lausanne]], [[Switzerland]], at the [[Junior Grand Prix Final]], Goebel became the first skater in the world to land a quadruple [[salchow jump|Salchow]], and the first American skater to land a quadruple jump of any kind in competition.<ref name=IN110927/> [[International Skating Union]] officials ratified the jump at the end of the month after watching a video provided by the parents of [[Tiffany Stiegler]] / [[Johnnie Stiegler]].<ref name=AP980331/>

On October 31, 1999, at the [[1999 Skate America]] in [[Colorado Springs, Colorado|Colorado Springs]], Goebel became the first skater to land three quads in one program. In the free skate, he landed a quad [[Salchow jump|salchow]] in combination, a quad [[Toe loop jump|toe loop]], and a quad salchow as a solo jump.<ref name=CBS991202 />

Goebel also made history at the 2002 Olympics by becoming the first skater to successfully land a quad Salchow in combination in Olympic competition. Goebel's repertoire of quadruple jumps made him one of the most competitive skaters in the world during the peak of his career. He would land a total of 76 quads in competition.<ref name=USFS060425/> Goebel was heavily criticized early in his career for focusing exclusively on jumping to the detriment of choreography and presentation, but in later years he improved in those areas.

Goebel increasingly struggled with his jumps after 2003 due to injuries. At the [[2006 U.S. Figure Skating Championships|2006 U.S. Championships]], in what he had previously announced would be his last competitive season, he was unable to land either a quadruple jump or triple [[Axel jump|Axel]] cleanly, and dropped to a seventh-place finish which left him far short of qualifying for the [[2006 Winter Olympics]].<ref name=NYT060115/><ref name=NBC060213/>

Goebel represented the Winterhurst Figure Skating Club. He was coached by Audrey Weisiger in [[Fairfax, Virginia]], after having been previously coached by [[Carol Heiss Jenkins]], [[Glyn Watts]] and [[Frank Carroll (figure skater)|Frank Carroll]].

On April 25, 2006, Goebel announced his retirement from competitive skating.<ref name=USFS060425/> He planned to continue to contribute to the sport as a technical specialist, having received certification for competitions sanctioned by the [[United States Figure Skating Association]]. He worked as a technical specialist at the Aviator Figure Skating Academy in New York.

He attended Columbia University, graduating in 2010 with a degree in mathematics.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://web.icenetwork.com/news/2017/06/09/235191860/goebel-ties-the-knot-in-breathtaking-ceremony|title = Live Figure Skating &#124; Peacock Premium}}</ref> In 2016, he received a Master of Science in Business Analytics degree from New York University Stern School of Business, and currently works for Google as a Marketing Mix Modeling Partner Program Manager.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.stern.nyu.edu/programs-admissions/ms-business-analytics/global-network/alumni-profiles/timothy-goebel-msba-16|title=Timothy Goebel, MSBA '16|access-date=2018-01-22|archive-date=2018-09-15|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180915221717/http://www.stern.nyu.edu/programs-admissions/ms-business-analytics/global-network/alumni-profiles/timothy-goebel-msba-16|url-status=live}}</ref>
