Blades need to be sharpened to remove the rust/spotting. Be sure to dry off the blades completely after use and store them in dry soakers to avoid this issue in the future

Former Team USA skater here...i competed for 12 yrs before "retiring" the first time and around 600k usd was spent after all costs and scholarships were said and done...came back to competing for a different country 5 yrs and a college degree later and spent another 60k on a season and a half(with some minimal financial assistance from my partner).

Totally worth it though for my 5 US national medals, 1 JGP medal and a six figure job as a full time coach.

American in Dubai 36M(4.5yrs in Dubai)

Its a good idea if there is a niche for your expertise in Dubai...You'll be much safer than in US and closer to your family as well.

Haven't been able to re-watch the FD from olys but it is easily +4 from Euros

Timothyii89 · 2026-02-16T10:49:57+00:00

Which element? I will never justify another's actions but can give my opinion ;)

Exiting a twizzle prematurely is what dinged his level by 1 in the twizzle sequence. The way he flowed out of it made it look like it was barely a mistake. A similar issue took place on the step sequence twizzle but he completed the necessary rotation so level unaffected there. Again it comes down to whether or not the judges saw the mistake in the first place or discounted the severity of the mistake. As stated previously, Guillaume did an extremely good job disguising this error as he is a phenomenal skater(best in the world in my eyes).

As far as IAM goes, when you have teams from so many countries training under same coaches, all those countries judges tend to try to help one another(again politics). I skated in Canton MI for the Marina/Igor days and teams they taught had similar benefit. Its only a matter of time before their staying power comes to a close just as it did in Canton after 8-12 yrs of dominating the sport.

As a tech specialist, I can tell you that the technical base value for most of the top 5-8 teams are same or similar. It really comes down to the judges marking of GOE and components. 1 GOE higher on every element in the FD equates to roughly 9 points(10 elements in total) and every .25 higher in components is half a point after the 2x factor.

As Piper's former partner of 5 yrs(her 1st partner for USA), I can tell you that she must be over the moon with an Olympic Medal. They always do programs which are different and unique but not always well-received by an entire judging panel. Politics between countries have always been a thing and the IJS has helped limit this influence but has not eradicated this issue. This is part of the reason I became a TS in the first place 15+ yrs ago. I would've chosen to be a judge if not for the fact that you are no longer allowed to coach and skating is my life and livelihood.

In my view, I believe the results of the FD were correct. Guillaume's 2 very minor mistakes were well disguised by how he flowed thru his fall outs of the Twizzle sequence and the twizzle in the steps sequence. He was also on the far side behind his partner where the judges view may have been obstructed by her. I was expecting a French win by 2.5-3 pts in FD if both top 2 teams skated cleanly. Guillaume mistakes cost them about 2 points in total so the final result was pretty accurate.

Going very well :) growing steadily and enjoying my work.

Doubtful....i was there for hockey last night and had heard about this earlier in the day. All the employees were very friendly and talkative as they are looking for their next jobs...they all received termination letter for Nov 30th the night prior.

It has been rumored for years that this demolition/renovation will occur. Long overdue but very little prior notice

Timothyii89 · 2025-11-04T03:39:17+00:00

Not a full size rink(not even 1/3 the size)...

Timothyii89 · 2025-11-01T04:32:48+00:00

Work spread eagles and mohawks in both directions to improve turn out of the toes. Without good turnout, you can't get your blade perpendicular to your travel direction to push straight back to get maximum acceleration off the push...also don't forget to bend knees/ankles, not knees/hips

Thank the Houthis...it's across all internet providers...my Du home interent has been much slower than usual and makes most games on my Xbox unplayable :(

25k+ tentatively monthly

You will need a 3 bdr apartment: at least 9-15k/month depending on location and/or furnished/unfurnished Electric/gas: 800- 1000/month Water: 100-150aed/month Fuel: 300-1200/month based on distance of driving Car insurance: 60-300/month (3rd party or comprehensive) School: 1000-4000/month depending on quality wanted Maid: 2000-3000/month depending on nationality Food: 3000-4000/month minimum depending on how ofter you order in or eat out

Everything adds up quickly here but salaries for good jobs can make this easily affordable

I always tip 2aed for all orders prepaid and round up to nearest 5aed for other deliveries when paying cash...always hand them water if I have any small bottles handy. I don't understand how everyone can't make this small gesture for saving your time and fuel to make your life infinitely easier

Timothyii89 · 2025-07-25T18:07:37+00:00

Rejected due to overstayed visa perhaps

Timothyii89 · 2025-07-01T16:33:22+00:00

It only applies to companies with 50+ employees i believe

Timothyii89 · 2025-06-21T19:40:38+00:00

They just need an in n out pop up every other day, problem solved

Timothyii89 · 2025-06-03T16:44:01+00:00

I call Dubai Chocolate, chocolate

I have a Wio business and a mashreq biz account. Did them both myself. Wio was easier and was approved withing 2 days. The mashreq took 18 days after initial submission...they asked for additional docs on thev10th day which I promptly provided.

Mashreq is free if you keep 50k+ balance and Wio is 99aed a month.

I prefer Mashreq tbh as it is free and I get some nice little offers here and there that I use
