Personal life

Reshtenko was born on 19 December 2002, in Saint Petersburg, Russia. In addition to figure skating, he also enjoys playing football, tennis, and the violin. [2]

In April 2023, Reshtenko spoke out against the poor treatment of Russian immigrants across Europe in the wake of the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the failure to separate politicians from ordinary people. [3]

He and Czech ice dancer, Denisa Cimlová, announced their engagement in November 2024. [4]

Career

Early career

Reshtenko began figure skating in 2006 at the age of three. [2] [5] He was first coached by Olga Arseneva, Alexander Rachinskii, and Anastasia Bunina until the age of nine when he joined Evgeni Rukavicin's group of skaters with Roman Usatov becoming his main coach. He won the 2015 Figure Skating Championship of St. Petersburg and the 2017 Northwest Region of Russia Competition. [5] [6]

At the age of fifteen, however, Reshtenko's father got a new job that would involve the family relocating to Prague. Now living in the Czech Republic, Reshtenko would make the decision to begin representing the country. [5] His first coach in Prague was Jakub Štrobl before eventually switching to Michal Matloch prior to the 2019–20 figure skating season. [6]

He would finish eighth in his debut at the 2019 Four National Championships. [1] That same year, Reshtenko enrolled at the figure skating academy of Tomáš Verner. [6]

2019–20 season: Junior Grand Prix debut

Debuting on the Junior Grand Prix circuit, Reshtenko finished thirteenth at 2019 JGP Russia. He would subsequently compete on the junior level at the 2019 Prague Ice Cup where he won the silver medal. Going on to compete on the senior level at the 2019 CS Golden Spin of Zagreb, where he placed eighteenth. [1]

Reshtenko would then end the season by finishing sixth at the 2020 Four National Championships. [1]

2020–21 season

Reshtenko started the season by finishing fourth at the 2020 Santa Claus Cup and fifth at the 2021 Four National Championships. He would then end the season by finishing fourteenth at the 2021 International Challenge Cup. [1]

2021–22 season

Prior to the season, it was announced that while continuing to work with Michal Matloch in Prague, Reshtenko would also make trips to St. Petersburg, Russia to be trained by former coach, Roman Usatov. [7] [5] While competing on the 2021–22 ISU Junior Grand Prix circuit, Reshtenko would place eleventh at 2021 JGP Slovakia and fifth at 2021 JGP Slovenia. [1]

Subsequently competing on the 2021–22 ISU Challenger Series, he would finish eighth at the 2021 CS Denis Ten Memorial Challenge, twenty-first at the 2021 CS Warsaw Cup, and ninth at the 2021 CS Golden Spin of Zagreb. Reshtenko would then go on to compete at the 2022 Four National Championships, where he won the silver medal behind Matyáš Bělohradský. [1]

In February, following the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Reshtenko would end his working relationship with Usatov and stop training in Russia at the request of the Czech Figure Skating Association. [5]

Selected to represent the Czech Republic at the 2022 World Junior Championships in Tallinn, Estonia, Reshtenko would finish eleventh overall. [1]

Following the season's end, it would later be announced that Reshtenko had begun dividing his time training on his own in Prague while also training under Michal Březina in Irvine, California, United States. In addition, Reshtenko would also return to Prague [8] [9]

2022–23 season: European and World Championship debut

In June 2022, shortly after his move to the United States, Reshtenko broke his leg and twisted his ankle, making it so that he would have to stay off the ice for four months. [5] [10] He would not return to competition until December of that year, where Reshtenko finished seventh at the 2023 Four National Championships.

Selected to compete at the 2023 European Championships in Espoo, Finland, Reshtenko would place twenty-sixth in the short program and fail to advance to the free skate segment. He would also go on to compete at the 2023 World Championships in Saitama, Japan, placing thirty-fourth in the short program and failing to qualify for the free skate segment. [1]

Reshtenko then closed the season with a fifth-place finish at the 2023 Triglav Trophy. [1]

2023–24 season

Reshtenko began the season by finishing eleventh at the 2023 Cranberry Cup International. Subsequently competing on the 2023–24 ISU Challenger Series, he placed ninth at the 2023 Lombardia Trophy and while he did complete his short program, he withdrew before the free skate. [1]

At the 2024 Four National Championships, Reshtenko won the silver medal. Going on to compete at the 2024 European Championships, Reshtenko scored personal bests in all competition segments, finishing ninth overall. [1] Following that event, Reshtenko competed at the 2024 Bavarian Open, where he won the silver mnedal. [1]
