Why you are saying that this guy is no good?! First of all, before judging his English, you should have at least some intelligence and don't say: "this guy", because "this guy" has a name, and his name is Mr. Olympiev. Secondly, you can't judge this coach just by looking at these video clips. All these video clips helped my cousin, and helped a lot, even her coach were so surprised. I want to thank you Mr. Olympiev for sharing these lessons with other people, and your English is excellent, you explaining very clear and very professional. Thank you so much!

I just wanted to say a few things about the negative comments to your videos. I've posted this same comment under all of your videos since the haters have done the same thing, too. The negative comments seem to be coming from a small group of people--in fact, I say it's coming from just one person posting under different screen names. I would probably pay attention to the criticism if it were actually objective, coherent or constructive--but it's none of these things. Its only purpose is to slander you. Whoever is trying to paint you as a bad guy has done quite the opposite. He/she is full of vindictiveness and pettiness and clearly has a personal grudge against you. Whatever you've done to warrant this kind of treatment, whether you deserve it or not, is completely irrelevant and is none of my business. All that really matters is if your videos are useful and helpful or not. In my humble opinion, your videos have been a great help to me and I applaud you for that.

Now when you’re a good skater and you skate fast, one thing you need to learn is how to stop on the ice. One thing to understand is when you stop on the ice, you use the whole side of the blade and one exercise to help you to do it is this. Bend your knees, keep your back straight, arms out and then brush the ice to the side. Brush the ice to the side. You can do it with the other foot also, brush, brush. Now when we stop though, we have to keep the knees together and then twist the ankle into the brush. One, Two, Three, bend the knees, twist the ankle and the same thing with the other foot. One, Two, Three, bend the knees, twist the ankle. We’ll be right back.
