Figure skaters and crew among identified plane crash victims
ai generated text
The Skating Club of Boston has confirmed that two teenage skaters, Spencer Lane and Jinna Hahn, along with their mothers and two coaches, were among the victims. Additionally, former world pairs champions Evgenia Shishkova and Vadim Naumov, a married couple, were also killed in the crash. Their son, who finished fourth at the US national championships, was not on the plane.
Our thoughts are with everyone affected by this tragedy. Figure skating is more than a sport; it's a close-knit family and we stand together.
We are heartbroken to learn that figure skaters, along with their families, friends and coaches, are understood to be among those on board.
We watched Jinna just grow up here – from just a tiny little tyke into this amazingly mature 13-year-old who you wouldn't think was 13.
I feel for the athletes, the skaters and their families, but (also for) anyone that was on that plane – not just the skaters – because it's such a tragic event.
I've never seen anyone love skating as much as these two and that's why I think it hurts so much.
We are devastated by this unspeakable tragedy and hold the victims' families closely in our hearts. We will continue to monitor the situation and will release more information as it becomes available.
This would be the young teenagers who we would expect to see bubble to the surface, rise up and compete moving forward, even to the 2030 Winter Olympic Games.
