The Washington, D.C., event honored the 67 victims of the Jan. 29 crash, including six from the Skating Club of Boston.

At the end of his figure skating performance, when the last note of his parents’ favorite song played in an arena packed with spectators and heavy with sorrow, Maxim Naumov dropped to his knees at the center of the ice. He remained there for what seemed like forever, awash in a spotlight, looking lost and sobbing.

Nancy Kerrigan, Kristi Yamaguchi, Scott Hamilton and Brian Boitano are among the skaters participating in the benefit event.

Dzens of U.S. figure skaters descended on the District this weekend: to honor the coaches, skaters and family members they lost in January’s American Airlines crash outside Reagan National Airport.

Twenty-eight members of the figure skating community were among the 67 people killed in the Jan. 29 collision and crash.

The figure skating community will gather Sunday in Washington, D.C., to remember the victims of the Jan. 29 aircraft collision that killed 67 people, including 11 young skaters and members of their families.

Some of the biggest names in figure skating will come together this weekend to honor those who died in the midair plane crash in Washington, D.C. Members of the Skating Club of Boston are getting ready for what they expect will be an emotional tribute for their friends and loved ones.
