Denis Ten. Thank you for being such an inspirational figure skater to many others. Thank you for being so amazing. Your programs and performances were phenomenal. I'll always remember you and will never forget you. Rest well. The world we live in is so cruel. Now you could rest peacefully up in the skies. Keep skating, even in the skies, and heaven. Thank you for everything you've done. RIP.❤

The murder of Denis Ten is tragic and appalling. Over car mirrors?! A stabbing?! What kind of world do we live in? RIP Denis Ten, you are an angel. 👼💔

Rest In Peace Denis, at the age of 25 stabbed to death by mindless robbers. A hero for his country who have struggled through many strife’s and injuries to bring pride to his country and help make it a better place

To know that someone this great passed at such a young age is so heartbreaking 💔🙏

I found out about him when Dimash Kudaibergen did a tribute song in his honor...so I googled him. So very sad. What a waste of a hard working young man. My heart aches for his mother.

19/07/2018 I'm literally crying He was so great Life is not f*cking fair

I'm very sorry for the loss of this young man. May he rest in peace..

Denis, you will always be loved and you will always be remembered. Thank you for your amazing performances. Rest In Peace

RIP Denis Ten. You are so loved. Your achievements inspires me. 🇰🇿

He didn't deserve this... He didn't deserve to die. He was such an inspiration... I miss him, and love him.

My heart hurts. What an absolutely devastating loss.

His death literally broke me. I hope that some day his dream will come true, and Kazakhstan will have enough opportunities and resources to hold the Olympics. We love you so much, Denis. We already miss you. You was a great man. You was unique. You are an angel.

I'm still crying today every time I see him in youtube....poor baby... RIP son! You will always be remembered for the amazing person that you are!

because of him I learned about Kazakhstan and my wish to visit his hometown. I never knew him personally but I'm so proud of what he achieved in his life. It's already two years but I still can't believe you're gone... we will always be proud of you...

I am a new fan in ice skating. I can not stop my tears dropping when I watch his story. So inspiring life story. Then I read the comment section. Oh my God, he's passed away? I am so sad to know it. Denis Ten was really a great person.

after tragic news from today, i can't stop crying. i will work hard for you, Denis. you will be missed.

You worked this hard your whole life and you were so very humble and inspired us all. You are a memory (a good one) in your mother's head, now hurting so bad when she thinks of you as a newborn until she said goodbye. What a tragedy that happened to you. You will always be a legacy.

Oh wow... He was amazing and brought honor to his country. RIP Denis Ten, you will be remembered.

Denis was an inspiration to me in its purest form. I revel in the fact that I had the chance to be a fan of such a wonderful person. He always expressed his appreciation for fans, and was always willing to share his talent and insights. In fact, he personally emailed me when I had queries about his Ice Show. I hope people will finally stop giving him unwarranted hate, especially now that he is gone. To all those who ruined his reputation without basis, I hope you're finally happy now. RIP hero! You were and will always be beautiful in our eyes. Thank you for everything. I know Kazakhstan will always be proud of you.

The first time I heard about Denis Ten, I clicked a random video were they made Denis look so malicious specifically towards Yuzuru Hanyu. Then I looked at other videos of him and he was actually a very kind person. I’m glad I didn’t think that he was a bad person.

The title? That was exactly what i felt when i watched Sochi 2014. I was first interested because one of my countrymen, a filipino, qualified for it. We ranked quite low and every other country on top was to be expected: Japan, US, SK, Spain. Then there was Denis, a skater from a relatively unknown country, on top with the pros. He was right, my first thought was really "oh, i didnt know Kazakhstan excelled in skating." :((( Now I'm watching this almost two years later and I just cant believe the kind of cruel world we live in.

I randomly found this video 3 years later and I happen to be interested in Ice skating. I am Kazakh too but raised in UK. This video has inspired me so much and Denis is my new motivation to try harder. I feel so heartbroken what happened to him. He was a beautiful hero who died tragically. May he rest in peace. ✊

Silver Pie Read my "letter" to all Yuzuru fans up above on this site. There you can find a little information who was Denis Ten.

Denis embodied the Olympic spirit. His dedication and hardwork made him an inspiration around the world. RIP

Denis is a beautiful talented special young man. He stood out at 2014 Sochi Olympics. He is a first for his country of Kazakhstan. He will be beloved forever there. Stupid, ugly people killed him for car mirrors. I hope there is an afterlife and he gets to go to a beautiful place.

I remember when I watched this clip when the 2018 Olympics was televised. I didn't have much interest in Kazakhstan at the time simply because I didn't know know much about the country, but this video really held my attention. I was moved by Denis' storytelling skills and his dedication to his country. For me, he really put Kazakhstan on the map and I was happy that he was so well-celebrated in his country. I was bewildered and pretty heartbroken to hear the news of his death; at first I couldn't believe it. He was too young, too talented, and had many great plans for the future. Rest in peace Dennis; you've achieved so much in the short amount of time you were here. We miss you and I wish peace to your family and your fellow Kazakhs.

Heaven gained an amazing skater. God bless his family. My prayers go out to them. May he rest in peace. He changed so much in his 25 years of life. We should all aspire to be like Denis Ten. Kind, driven, talented, committed and most of all beautiful from the inside out! I am crushed by this heinous crime. That he was murdered for mirrors on a car is injust. To be killed by one of his countrymen, when he brought such honor to Kazistan, is just so wrong! Blessed be to all of his family, friends, and fans!

RIP Legend of Kazakhstan! 💔

We won't be able to see him skate anymore. RIP Denis. 😭

It is heartbreaking that someone with so much future ahead of him was taken away from him just because of how bad the world we live in. Rest in peace, Denis. You will always be an inspiration.

Не могу поверить, что он больше не с нами... Огромная потеря! Денис, мы тебя не забудем, покойся с миром.

It is wonderful to hear Denis Ten's voice as if from the other side. I watch this today knowing what happened to him. I knew of Denis Ten only thru Dimash Kudaibergen's SOS song played at one of Denis's performances.. I might get some hateful replies, but that's ok. I believe Denis Ten fulfilled his life purpose on Earth and has returned to LOVE. Also, I am sending LOVE to the persons involved (perpetrators) that led to his being returned to LOVE, as well as to their families and friends.

Denis, you will live FOREVER in our hearts. Love you to the moon and back, you perfect human being...................................

Such a trailblazer, definitely a talent gone too soon. RIP Denis, you are so missed

I love you Denis

My condolences to his friends and family...

I just found about Denis Ten....I love that me made goals for himself ever since he was young..I hope to be like him when I'm older. Always, proud for my country and willing to work hard even when we fall down...May he rest in peace.♡

I can't watch you, my Denis, without crying...😭

RIP my baby Denis😭 1993-2018

I don't know why we start to appreciate people only when they are gone.. I thank all the Denis Ten fans..and I am ashamed for being late to realize what an inspiration he was to the other... rest in peace.

Ты супер ты всегда останешься в наших сердцах!!! Так больно признать что тебя нет... мы тебя любим и всегда помним😭😢😢😭

My heart is broken for his family and friends. Such a beautiful skater. RIP Denis

rest in peace bro, you are the best!

RIP Denis. You left a great legacy for your country as well as the sport itself

I come to rewatch this whenever I feel creatively flat. Just endlessly inspiring. You are a gift that keeps on giving, Denis, even years after you are gone.

Our HERO! Kazakhstan will remember you forever! Forever in OUR HEARTS!

What a crazy, cruel world. A few days ago I thrilled at the news that my skating idol Takahashi had announced his return. Less than a week later one of our brightest stars is needlessly dimmed forever. Denis made his senior debut 2008-9, the year Dai missed thru' injury. Who could ever forget the tiny 15 yr old's incredibly mature LP @ 2009 Worlds. The spectators went crazy as the lad got down on his knees to kiss the ice! Never forget the pride in his face when , in traditional dress, he carried his country's flag at Vancouver, or the sheer joy & exuberance of his SP to Louis Prima's music. Whenever he appeared we wanted him to do well and felt for him when injury or illness marred his efforts. What a fighter. Viewing the vids on these pages has revealed a Denis I did not know - a brilliant, intelligent and erudite young man whose talents went far beyond the ice rink. It is not just skating that has lost him. He could have grown into a major figure, but somehow I feel his passion for his sport would have always have won the day. RIP.

I was there in the audience to see Denis’s free skate in 2009. It was spectacular! I was just thinking, “who is this kid? He is amazing!” His free skate and Evan’s win were my two special moments from those worlds and those two were the only ones who brought every single person to their feet. I still get emotional thinking about what promise he had and that he is gone.

RIP Denis...

Couldn't get through this without crying. It's utterly heartbreaking. I'm so glad he got to live his dreams before he died, and so sad that he wasn't given the chance to achieve even more.

Who would have imagined that this would end up being a tribute video?? Crying my eyes out watching...

Rest in Paradise, Denis. You're one of my favorite figure skaters. ❤

I thought... maybe after sometime it will get easier, but even after 5 years it still hurts to watch stuff about Denis... I'm a big fan and it's so difficult for me, I want to watch all those videos but it's too hard for me. He did and put so much into developing figure skating in Kazakhstan. I'm so grateful we see that his legacy lives and hopefully there always will be young generation of great skaters who will look up for him.

You will always be a hero. We miss you so much

This thoughtful, wise soul was murdered by petty thieves stealing car mirrors in Kazakhstan. A human life of this refinement exchanged for a car mirror? 18 years hard labour for a life this beautiful? No one was able to help you, no one could feel your pain. I grieve for you, for your family and friends. Thank you for sharing your thoughts in this video. Rest in Peace knowing you have done your best.....

Денис Тен ровно 25 жасында дүниеден өтті. Әлі күнге дейін бейнесін көрсем, жүрегіме ауыр тиеді. 13 маусым дәл менің де туған күнім. Жұлдыз едің, бірақ жалғыз едің. Енді сенің орныңды ешкім баса алмайды, мәңгі есте қалдың. Видеоны көріп біраз жылап алдым. Я люблю тебя, Денис Тен. Denis Ten died exactly at the age of 25. Even now, when I see him, my heart hurts. June 13th is my birthday, just like his. You were a star, but you were alone. Now no one can take your place, you will be remembered forever. I cried a lot when I watched the video. I love you Denis Ten.

I will miss him so much

such an amazing spirit that you had ventured in the world of sports, you became the public sport figure and inspiration to many youngster who desire to be like you. May your soul rest in hand of our Lord. Denis Ten

I'm not sure how many people know...Denis was beloved by so many fellow skaters on a really special level. Not just his talent in the sport, but the way he interacted with everyone off-the-ice, too. He was such a genuinely kind and fun person, there are so many videos of him laughing and enjoying life with his friends. It's been 5 years and honestly I still don't think I've fully accepted that he is gone.
