U.S. skater Maxim Naumov honored his late parents, world champions, with an emotional Olympic debut, advancing to the free skate after a heartfelt performance.
U.S. figure skater Maxim Naumov delivered an emotional Olympic debut at the 2026 Milan Cortina Games, one year after his parents, former world champions Evgenia Shishkova and Vadim Naumov, died in a plane crash that killed 67 people, including several skaters.
Competing in the men’s short program, Naumov honored their memory by carrying a childhood photo on the ice and skating to Chopin’s “Nocturne No.
20,” earning a score of 85.65 and advancing to the free skate.
His performance, marked by technical precision and heartfelt emotion, was a tribute to their lifelong support and his journey through grief, with fans and the Skating Club of Boston, which his parents founded, showing strong support.
