Personal life

Bush was formerly known by the surname Devinski (Russian: Девинский), but switched to his mother's maiden name, Bush, with the consent of his whole family.[1][2][3] His first name has sometimes been romanized as Jean[4][5] or Jan.[6]

He was born in Chelyabinsk, but his family moved to Israel soon after and returned to Russia seven years later.[3] He spoke only Hebrew as a child, and learned Russian when the family returned.[3] His parents enrolled him in figure skating to improve his health.[3]

Career

Bush began skating at age 8 in Chelyabinsk. He was coached by Larisa Yakovleva from 2004[3] until 2010. He competed as Devinski until the end of the 2007–08 season.[6]

Bush finished 17th at the 2010 Russian Nationals. In spring 2010, he moved to Saint Petersburg to be coached by 1994 Olympic champion Alexei Urmanov.[7] He won the bronze medal at the 2011 Russian Nationals.[8]

In the 2011–12 season, Bush began appearing in senior international events, competing at the Finlandia Trophy, Nebelhorn Trophy, and Coupe de Nice. He then competed at the 2012 Russian Championships, and finished 4th with an overall score of 223.30 points.[9][10] Bush was the first alternate for the 2012 European Championships in Sheffield, England. He won the gold medal at the 2012 Russian Junior Championships. Bush finished 5th at the 2012 World Junior Championships in Minsk, Belarus.[11][12] Bush placed 10th at the 2012 World Team Trophy in Tokyo, Japan.

In 2012–13, Bush finished 5th at the 2012 Finlandia Trophy. At the 2012 Cup of Nice, he was 15th in the short program but won the long and finished 6th overall. Bush made his senior Grand Prix debut at the 2012 Rostelecom Cup.

In spring 2013, Bush changed coaches to Svetlana Sokolovskaya in Moscow.[13] He won the bronze medal at the 2013 Cup of Nice.
