November 7, 2018, in Almaty, the opening of a memorial plaque is planned on the house where the legendary figure skater Denis Ten was born and lived. As well as the official presentation of the Fund "Denis Ten Foundation".

These important events will be visited by the great Soviet and Russian figure skating coach. Honored coach of the USSR, Master of Sports of the USSR international class, Honored Artist of Russia Tatyana Tarasova. Tatyana Tarasova was the coach of Denis in CSKA (2003-2010). She has never been to Kazakhstan - this will be her first visit to our country. Tatyana Anatolyevna wants to commemorate Denis Ten (in his homeland) because she was personally acquainted with him. And refers to him as to the Son. Also this important event will be visited by the famous figure skater of Russia, Elena Radionova.

 

Denis has always been a bright star, a reference point and an example for our youth, a tuning fork of morality and modesty, an extraordinary talent that the whole world admired and admires. And the importance of the opening of a memorial plaque and the Denis Ten Foundation Foundation, for all Kazakhstanis, who still grieve over the irreparable loss after the tragic death of a figure skater, is difficult to overestimate.


These events will become an opportunity to worship the memory of the Great Athlete, who spared no effort, trained and won in the name of Kazakhstan, so that our country would be known and respected all over the world. And participation in the events of the legendary coach not only of the CIS countries, but also, perhaps, of the whole world, will become a symbol of the continuation of the work of Denis Ten. A symbol of the fact that the memory of the "Prince of Ice" will live in our hearts forever.
