US Figure skater Maxim Naumov, whose parents were killed in a commercial plane crash in Washington DC last year, has made the US figure skating team heading to the Milan Olympics next month.
Naumov's dream to make the US Olympic Team was one of the last things he spoke about with his parents before they were killed.
"We did it," Naumov said when asked what his parents would say if they were watching.
His parents, Vadim Naumov and Evgenia Shishkova, were among 67 killed in January 2025 after an American Airlines flight collided with a military helicopter mid-air in Washington DC. They were world champions in pairs figure skating in 1994 and skated for Russia.
They later moved to the US and coached at the Skating Club of Boston.
