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.

One-Foot Glides in Ice Skating
Hi my name is Dmitri Olympiev and I am from Pines Ice Arena, in Pembroke, Florida. You can reach us on the web at www.www.pinesicearena.com. Now when you’re skating on the ice, everything you do is pretty much on one foot, that’s why our next lesson will be dedicated to “One-Foot-Glide.” How to skate on one foot and keep your balance. Now this is the exercise where there is a lot of body parts and both. I have to think about my head, my shoulders, my back, my hips, my knees, and yes my ankles. I’m going to put my arms out, feet together. Keep the body very stiff, keep the leg up. The other foot, keep the leg up. Keep in mind, my ankles and knees are together. One, two, three, up. One, two, three, up. I always think about keeping my back straight and the arms. We’ll be right back.
