Denis Yurievich Ten (Kazakh: Денис Юрийұлы Тен; Russian: Денис Юрьевич Тен; 13 June 1993 – 19 July 2018) was a Kazakhstani figure skater.[1] He was the 2014 Olympic bronze medalist, a two-time World medalist (silver in 2013, bronze in 2015), the 2015 Four Continents champion, the 2017 Winter Universiade champion, and a five-time national champion of Kazakhstan.

Ten was the first skater from Kazakhstan to stand on the podium at the World Championships, Four Continents Championships, Asian Winter Games, and the Olympic Games. At the 2008–09 ISU Junior Grand Prix event in Belarus, he became the first skater from Kazakhstan to win an International Skating Union competition. His other accomplishments include qualifying two spots for his country in the men's event at the 2010 and 2014 Winter Olympics.

Ten was the official ambassador for the Olympic Bidding Committee "Almaty 2022". He was a member of the Astana Presidential Sports Club[2] and the political party "Nur Otan", which ruled the country since 1991. In 2013, he began producing his own ice show, "Denis Ten and Friends". In summer 2014, he announced his cooperation with All That Sports management company established by Yuna Kim.

In July 2018, Ten was murdered in Almaty by two robbers who were attempting to steal his car mirrors.

Early life

Ten was born on 13 June 1993 in Almaty, Kazakhstan.[3][4] He was a member of the Korean minority in Kazakhstan. His great-great-grandfather, Min Geung-ho,[5][6] was a famous Korean independence fighter general during the time of the Korean Empire when Korea fought for independence from Japan.

Ten moved with his mother to Moscow, Russia, in 2004 while his father and older brother, Alexei, remained in Kazakhstan.[6][7] Ten already spoke Russian—it is co-official in Kazakhstan and was Ten's first language.[7] In 2010, he moved with his mother to the U.S. state of California.[9]

At the Four Continents Championships in late January, he placed 15th. Ten finished 27th at the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang. This was his final Olympic appearance before his murder in July.[90]

2018–2019 season

According to Lori Nichol, Ten had a plan to create his short program with her in Toronto at the end of July.[91] He was going to reuse his free skating from the 2017–2018 season, after rearranging it in the updated ISU format (30 seconds shorter) with David Wilson.[92]

Personal life

In May 2014, Ten graduated from the Kazakh Academy of Sports and Tourism with a Red Diploma.[93] By 2015, he began working on his MBA program (Oil and Gas) at the Business School of the Kazakh-British Technical University.[94]

In July 2015, the media reported on Ten's interest in photography. There is a separate social media page where he posted the photos he took. Celebrities who have modelled for or collaborated with him include Dinara Baktybayeva, Aissulu Azimbayeva, Aliya Telebarisova (Kazakhstani actresses), Sabina Altynbekova, and Serik Sapiyev.[95]

Death

Ten was stabbed in the thigh on 19 July 2018 in Almaty by two carjackers who were attempting to steal his car mirrors, which were worth about 68 U.S. dollars.[96] After being stabbed, Ten lost about 3 litres (5.3 imp pt) of blood[97] and died from the severe blood loss at the Central Clinical Hospital in Almaty, three hours after being admitted.[98]

The Kazakhstan Minister of Culture and Sport Arystanbek Muhamediuly paid tribute to Ten, saying "Denis Ten was an incredible figure skater, the legend of our sport, our pride."[99] United States figure skaters Adam Rippon, Alex Shibutani,[100] Gracie Gold, Ashley Wagner, and Mirai Nagasu, who used to train with Ten, also paid tribute to him,[99] along with several other international figure skaters including Patrick Chan,[101] Tessa Virtue,[102] Scott Moir,[103] Evgenia Medvedeva,[104] Adelina Sotnikova, and many others.[citation needed] IOC president Thomas Bach stated, "Denis Ten was a great athlete and a great ambassador for his sport. A warm personality and a charming man. Such a tragedy to lose him at such a young age."[105]

The two suspects—both male, one aged 23 and the other 24 years old—were apprehended the next day.[106] In January 2019, they were sentenced to 18 years in a penal colony.[107]

A civil funeral service for Ten took place on 21 July 2018 in Almaty. Ten's coffin was taken to the Baluan Sholak Sports Palace, where friends, family, and members of the public gathered to pay their respects. A mourning rally was also held at the Barys Arena in Astana.[108]
