Quote

One of the world's most decorated figure skaters, Olympic champion, four-time world champion and three-time European champion Alexei Yagudin gave a master class in Almaty, Kazinform has learnt from the Fund of the First President of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

 

Organized in association with the Denis Ten Foundation, the master class was held at the Khalyk Arena Sport Complex.

 

"A unique project Biikke umtyl has been launched several years ago by Kazakhstani athlete Denis Ten as part of which young figure skaters are given a chance to attend master classes and fall in love with this amazing sport. The project has proved to be one of the most important and successful in the sports world of Kazakhstan. Now Denis' friends carry on this amazing tradition," a Facebook post of the fund reads.

 

Alexei Yagudin and young talents spent almost three hours on the ice. The legendary figure skater shared the story of his success and signed autographs and took photos with the little figure skaters.

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.
