How to watch figure skater Maxim Naumov compete at the Milan Cortina Olympics
Naumov was raised with the coaching experience of his Olympian parents, who tragically died in the Washington D.C. plane crash last year.
The 24-year-old figure skater, who grew up in Simsbury, Connecticut, and later moved to Norwood, Massachusetts, will compete at Milan Cortina with a heavy heart.
Last year, Naumov's parents — Vadim Naumov and Evgenia Shishkova — died in the Potomac River plane crash as they were heading to Washington, D.C., while flying back from the U.S. championships. They were world champion figure skaters in 1994, inspiring their son to pursue the sport as his career.

A Year After Losing His Parents in a Plane Crash, Maxim Naumov Makes His Olympic Debut
Maxim Naumav skates in "Making Team USA," an exhibition after the 2026 United States Figure Skating Championships in St Louis, Mo., on Jan. 11, 2026.
Jan. 29 will always be an emotionally loaded day for figure skater Maxim Naumov.
On that date in 2025, his parents and skating coaches Evgenia Shishkova and Vadim Naumov died in a plane crash over the Potomac River in Washington, D.C., while returning home from a skating competition.
This year, the week of Jan. 29, it was Naumov who was on a plane, heading to Italy to compete in his first Olympics.
When the men’s figure skaters take the ice in Milan, many eyes will be on gold-medal favorite Ilia Malinin, whose mastery of quadruple jumps is setting new standards for the sport. But there will be an equal amount of passion and compassion for Naumov, who had discussed making the Olympic team with his parents, also Olympians and world champions in pairs, since almost the day he began skating as a toddler.
