 US figure skaters, former Russian world champions on board crashed plane


The United States figure skating body has confirmed that several skaters were on an American Airlines regional passenger plane that crashed near Reagan Washington National Airport in Virginia.

The plane, with 64 passengers and crew, was en route to Washington, DC, from Wichita, Kansas, when it collided midair with a US Army helicopter late on Wednesday.

US Figure Skating said on Thursday that athletes, coaches and family members were returning from the National Development Camp held in conjunction with the US Figure Skating Championships in Kansas.


The Russian state news agency TASS and the sports media website Sports.ru both quoted sources as saying Naumov and Shishkova, who won the pairs gold medal at the 1994 World Championships, were on board the plane.

The pair, who also won the 1995-96 Champions Series final, moved to the United States after they ended their skating careers, and became coaches.

Their 23-year-old son, Maxim, is a U.S. citizen who competes for the United States in international competitions. He was the U.S. national junior champion in 2020.

CBS News, citing a police official, reported that at least 18 bodies had already been recovered, while two sources told Reuters that multiple bodies had been pulled from the water.

The search was complicated by darkness and near freezing temperatures.
