Figure skater Isabella Flores, who performs with Ivan Desyatov in ice dancing, released a statement after the scandalous news about her partner.
Previously, Moscow native Desyatov, representing the United States, was temporarily suspended from competition for inappropriate behavior. The information appeared on the website of the American Center for Safe Sports. Flores and Desyatov are also spouses.
“I needed a break to focus on my mental health and get my personal life in order. »
These few weeks have been very difficult for all of us. Due to the recent accusations, Vanya’s season and mine are over. The result has been an incredible wave of misinformation and cyberbullying online… I’m human too; I read the comments people write about me, I see the posts people post online – these rumors make me very ashamed and a little scared.
I cannot and will not respond to any hate because I do not want to interfere with due process. Like many of you, I believe justice must be served…but only after a proper investigation has been conducted. This is all an injustice. Spreading misinformation and attacking others without due process is simply hate.
I don’t know what to do next or what the outcome of this situation could be for all parties involved. But I’m not going to be a victim of circumstance or self-pity. “I continue to move forward and work on myself to become better on and off the ice,” Flores wrote on social media.
Desyatov is 23 years old. Early in his career he competed for Russia and then Belarus. In 2022, Desyatov began performing in tandem with Flores and received American sports citizenship.
