Denis Ten

Five-time champion of Kazakhstan in figure skating, bronze medalist of the 2014 Olympics, three-time winner of the world championships, 9th in the ranking of the International Skating Union - and it's all about him, Kazakh figure skater Denis Tena.

And Denis - one of the few figure skaters-men, who was under the power of the most difficult element - Bilman.

The future Olympic medalist was born in Almaty in the summer of 1993. Denis is written to be a steadfast fighter and leader, because he is a descendant of a well-known general in Korea during the empire.

Already in early childhood, parents noticed the versatility of talents that nature has endowed his son. Denis sang, danced, drew and engaged in several sports at once. I tried my hand at tennis, acrobatics and swimming. He became interested in martial arts such as karate and taekwondo.
