Jamal Aziz Othman (born August 13, 1986 in Worb, Switzerland) is a Swiss figure skater. He is the 2002 & 2005-2007 Swiss national silver medalist.

Career

Othman was the 1999 Swiss Novice Champion and the 2000 and 2001 Swiss Junior Champion. He is a two-time competitor at the Junior Grand Prix Final and a four-time competitor at Junior Worlds.

In the 2005/2006 season, Othman had to fight to earn his spot on the Swiss Olympic Team. Switzerland had two spots to the Olympics, but Othman's silver medal at the Swiss Championships only secured him spots on the teams to Worlds and Europeans. Othman competed at the German Championships, but did not place high enough to qualify for the Olympics. At the European Championships, Othman fell to 21st. The Swiss Olympic Committee gave him one last chance and Othman skated his programs in front of a panel. He performed well enough to be placed on the Olympic team. At the Olympics, he failed to make it out of the short program.

Othman began the 2006-2007 season by placing ninth at Skate Canada International. He then went to Trophée Eric Bompard, where he placed 11th. He won his third consecutive silver medal at the Swiss national championships. At the 2007 European Figure Skating Championships, Othman went in as the top-ranked Swiss skater, due to the withdrawal of Stephane Lambiel. Othman skated two personal best program and cracked the top ten for the first time. His placement, combined with that of countryman Moris Pfeifhofer, ensured Switzerland two spots in the 2008 Championships.

At 186 cm, Othman is very tall for a skater, and his height allows him to reach very interesting positions in his spins. He has competed at both French and German nationals to gain competitive experience.
