Sounds like he's retiring...is he?

he announced at the beginning of the season that this was his last competitive season... he hasn't answered one way or the other about skating in tours/professionally

I feel bad for the guy. He should remember the good days and not the bad. He was the first American to medal at the Olympics in 10 years.

I share your sentiments concerning Timothy. He truly was a trailblazer with his multiple quad jumps, and his jumping ability (certainly not his artistic ability) led him to one US title, two World silver medals, and the 2002 Olympic bronze medal.

Sadly, after so many injuries, Tim simply isn't the "Quad King", and that was his primary claime to fame. Without those jumps, he's pretty much just another senior level figure skater who struggles with his jumps and artistry.
