Ivan Igorevich Bich (Russian: Иван Игоревич Бич; born 14 February 1993) is a Russian pair skater. With former partner Kamilla Gainetdinova, he is the 2013 JGP Belarus champion and a two-time (2012, 2013) Russian junior national bronze medalist.
Ivan Igorevich Bich was born 14 February 1993 in Saint Petersburg, Russia. His father, Igor, is a former pair skater and an ISU technical specialist.
Bich initially trained as a singles skater, coached by Alla Piatova. He last competed in singles in September 2010, winning the junior bronze medal at the first stage of the Russian Cup series. He decided to begin training as a pairs skater. In May 2011, Bich formed a partnership with Kamilla Gainetdinova, who until then was a Moscow-based singles skater. Gainetdinova moved to Saint Petersburg to train with him. They were coached by Oksana Kazakova in their first two seasons together.
Gainetdinova/Bich made their international debut at the 2011 Warsaw Cup, winning the junior bronze medal. They won bronze at the 2012 Russian Junior Championships. In the free skate, Gainetdinova/Bich landed SBS 3Lz, receiving 6.70 points for the element. They also included a SBS 3Lo+2A sequence after the halfway point, receiving 5.99 points due to some negative grades of execution. They were assigned to the 2012 World Junior Championships, where they finished 11th.
In their second season, Gainetdinova/Bich debuted on the ISU Junior Grand Prix series. They were 7th at their first event in Lake Placid, New York. At the 2012 JGP Croatia, they landed a SBS 3LZ+2T combination in the free skate, as well as upgrading their twist to a triple for the first time. They are the first pair to land the combination in a junior competition. Gainetdinova/Bich finished 4th at the event. They won bronze at the 2013 Russian Junior Championships with a free skate that included a SBS 3Lz+2T combination at the start of the program and SBS 3T after the halfway mark. They finished 8th at the 2013 World Junior Championships.
