overcoming tragedy
written by JOE ELLISON
Our hearts go out to U.S Figure Skater Max Naumov. Max was born to Russian Figure Skating Champions who became Coaches in the United States, and unfortunately were among 67 Coaches, Skaters, Parents, and others killed in January of last year when their commercial jet collided with an Army Black Hawk helicopter over the Potomac River in the Washington D.C. area. Max still managed to qualify for the Olympic Team and performed in their honor finishing 20th. It was very emotional.
