Solène Mazingue

With former partner, Marko Jevgeni Gaidajenko, she is the 2021 JGP France II bronze medalist, a two time Estonian national champion (2022, 2024), and competed in the final segment at the 2022 European Championships.

[1] In November 2024, Mazingue alleged that fellow ice dancer Ivan Desyatov sexually assaulted her in a hotel room during the 2023 CS Golden Spin of Zagreb after she had taken medication prescribed for a brain injury sustained in 2022.

Mazingue also accused the Ice Academy of Montreal coaches of not taking her claims seriously, alleging that she had confided in Marie-France Dubreuil about what had happened to her.

However, Dubreuil did not follow through for the U.S. Center for SafeSport did not receive any prior report about the alleged incident until September 2024, which Mazingue filed herself.

The pandemic made searching for a new partner difficult, but Mazingue eventually arranged a tryout in France with Estonian ice dancer Marko Jevgeni Gaidajenko in December 2020.

Later in December, they won their first senior national title at the 2022 Estonian Championships before returning to the Challenger Series at the 2021 CS Golden Spin of Zagreb, where they finished ninth.

[7] The Russo-Ukrainian War necessitated that Mazingue and Gaidajenko leave their Moscow training location, which had already been inconvenient in terms of visa access.

After Gaidajenko tripped while practicing a lift, Mazingue hit her head on the ice, suffering a skull fracture and intracranial bleeding that required surgery.

"[9] After resuming training, with Mazingue wearing a protective helmet until March, the team was eventually cleared to compete at the 2023 World Championships in Saitama.

[10] As a result of their low placements in the season, the team lost their financial support from the Estonian Skating Union and began to fundraise via GoFundMe.

[11] Mazingue would share that she had been unable to bring herself to skate since the World Championships due to the trauma of having allegedly been sexually assaulted in December 2023.
