Ivan "Vanya" Evgenyevich Desyatov (Russian: Иван Евгеньевич Десятов; born February 6, 2001) is an American ice dancer.
They followed this performance up with a 7th-place finish at the 2021 JGP Poland and were slated to next compete in the junior ice dance event at the 2021 Denis Ten Memorial Challenge but withdrew ahead of the competition.
The team split after eight years together and, encouraged by his older brother, Desyatov left Belarus, flying to the United States in April with only a loose plan for his future there in place.
The process proved more complicated and financially burdensome than the team initially expected, as the Belarusian federation requested US$25,000 in restitution for Desyatov's training expenses incurred during the season prior.
[8] Flores and Desyatov began their season by finishing fifth at the 2024 Lake Placid Ice Dance International and sixth at the 2024 Denis Ten Memorial Challenge.
[8] The duo were assigned to debut on the 2024–25 Grand Prix circuit at the 2024 Skate America; however, two days before the event, their names were withdrawn, and they were replaced by Annabelle Morozov and Jeffrey Chen.
[9] On October 18, the U.S. Center for SafeSport announced that Desyatov had been sanctioned with a temporary suspension due to an ongoing investigation of misconduct allegations.
She alleged that Desyatov sexually assaulted her in a hotel room during the 2023 CS Golden Spin of Zagreb, after she had taken medication prescribed to help her sleep following a brain injury.
