Vadym Kolesnik (Ukrainian: Вадим Колесник; born October 27, 2001) is a Ukrainian-born ice dancer who competes for the United States. With his skating partner, Avonley Nguyen, he has won three medals on the ISU Junior Grand Prix series, including gold at 2018 JGP Slovenia and gold at 2019 JGP USA, and qualified to the 2018 JGP Final.

Personal life

Kolesnik was born on October 27, 2001, in Kharkiv, Ukraine.^[2] He moved to the United States in spring 2017. He lives with Avonley Nguyen's family.^[3]

Career

Early years

Kolesnik began learning to skate as a four-year-old, after his grandmother took him to a local rink.^[3] The coaches at the rink did not wish to take him due to his weight but he kept returning until one accepted him.^[3] In the 2015–2016 season, he appeared internationally with Zlata Iefymenko for Ukraine. Competing in advanced novice ice dancing, they placed ninth at the 2015 Ice Star and then fourth at the 2015 NRW Trophy.^[4]

2016–2017 season

In autumn 2016, Kolesnik and Avonley Nguyen of the United States had a three-week tryout in Novi, Michigan, following which he returned to Ukraine for a few months.^[3] They began their partnership in February 2017.^[5]

2017–2018 season

Nguyen/Kolesnik received their first ISU Junior Grand Prix (JGP) assignments in the 2017–2018 season. They placed fifth at JGP Belarus and sixth at JGP Italy. After taking gold in junior ice dancing at Midwestern Sectionals, they qualified to the 2018 U.S. Championships, where they would finish fifth.

2018–2019 season

Nguyen/Kolesnik won the silver medal at 2018 JGP Lithuania, behind Russia's Arina Ushakova / Maxim Nekrasov, and the gold at 2018 JGP Slovenia to qualify for their first JGP Final. They placed fifth overall at the 2018–19 Junior Grand Prix Final after placing fifth in the rhythm dance and fifth in the free dance.

At the 2019 U.S. Championships they won the silver medal behind Caroline Green / Gordon Green after placing second in the rhythm dance and winning the free dance.

At the 2019 World Junior Championships, Nguyen/Kolesnik placed fifth in the rhythm dance, but moved up to fourth overall after placing third in the free dance. They were awarded a small bronze medal for the free, where they had the highest technical base value of any of the competing teams, and the second-highest technical score overall.^[6]

2019–2020 season

Nguyen/Kolesnik began their season at 2019 JGP USA, where they won both segments and the overall event with personal best scores. They will compete at 2019 JGP Poland in mid-September.
