ASTANA. October 29. KAZINFORM Silver medalist of the 2013 World Championships Kazakh figure skater Denis Ten is to perform at the Grand Prix in Beijing, Kazinform has learnt from Vesti.kz.
"Denis still has back pains, but he has made a decision to perform in Beijing," Kazakhstan's figure skating coach Yuri Guskov confirmed the news.
Ten missed the first Grand Prix in Detroit earlier - back pains forced the Kazakhstani athlete to withdraw from the competition.
Denis Ten earned Kazakhstan two spots at the 2013 Winter Olympics in Sochi thanks to 'silver' he clinched at the 2013 World Championships in Canada this spring. It was recently announced that figure skater Abzal Rakimgaliyev will join Ten at the Winter Olympic Games in Russia.
