米兰—周二，当马克西姆·瑙莫夫（Maxim Naumov）踏上2026年米兰冬奥会的奥运冰面时，他并非孤身一人。
当音乐响起，灯光映照冰场，这位24岁的美国滑冰选手正在实现一个他与父母——前奥运双人滑选手叶夫根尼娅·希什科娃（Evgenia Shishkova）和瓦季姆·瑙莫夫（Vadim Naumov）——共同的梦想。他们两人去年在波托马克河上空的空中碰撞事故中不幸遇难。
“那是他们三人共同的梦想，”波士顿滑冰俱乐部教练、家族密友苏珊·哈梅尔-博塔里（Susan Hamel-Bottari）在瑙莫夫完成比赛后告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻。“他总说，这不是一个人的梦想，而是三个人的。”
周二男子短节目比赛期间，这一梦想在米兰冰场溜冰场得以实现。
就在他踏上冰面之前，头顶的大屏幕上出现了一行字：“爸爸妈妈，这是为你们而战。”

瑙莫夫随后呈现了职业生涯中最出色的一次滑行，获得85.65分，足以晋级本周晚些时候的自由滑比赛。
但数字仅讲述了故事的一部分。
完成比赛后，他跪倒在地，仰望天空。体育场内的观众也将情感倾注而出，给予他热烈的起立鼓掌。
之后，他拿出一张照片——照片中是年幼的他和未来的奥运选手，站在冰面上，父母分别站在他两侧。

“我不知道自己是该哭、该笑还是该笑中带泪，”瑙莫夫赛后表示，“我只能抬头仰望他们。我仍然不敢相信刚才发生的一切。”
他的美国队夹克内袋里，装着一句简短的留言——他父亲最喜欢的提醒之一：“意料之外，便是常态。”
过去一年，这句建议以难以想象的方式受到了考验。
希什科娃和瑙莫夫是去年一架客机与军用直升机在华盛顿特区附近相撞事故中的67名遇难者之一。当时他们正结束一次滑冰发展训练营，返回途中遭遇不幸。

这场悲剧令他们紧密相连的滑冰社区——包括波士顿滑冰俱乐部——陷入巨大悲痛，俱乐部失去了数名成员。
哈梅尔-博塔里回忆起那天的震惊以及之后的感受。
“我不知道该如何回应他，”她说，“我只是告诉他，我会永远在他身边。”
哈梅尔-博塔里告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻，他在过去几个月中的韧性令人鼓舞。
“无论发生什么，他每天都会来溜冰场，”她说，“无论内心感受如何，他都坚持出席。他意志坚强，是个斗士。”
瑙莫夫全身心投入训练，在冰面上寻找慰藉与释放。
“每一次滑行和脚步移动，我都忍不住感觉到他们的存在，”他说，“几乎就像棋盘上的棋子。”
除了个人竞技目标，瑙莫夫还延续了父母的事业。他们创立了“明日冠军”项目，这是波士顿滑冰俱乐部的一个发展计划，通过严格的冰上训练、体能训练、体操和芭蕾结合的方式培养年轻滑冰选手。
即便在备战奥运会期间，瑙莫夫仍继续教授该项目课程。
“孩子们都很喜欢他，”哈梅尔-博塔里说，“他非常积极乐观。他从最好的老师那里学习——也就是他的父母。”
许多年轻选手在米兰观看了瑙莫夫的比赛。一些人专程前往意大利，举着印有自己手印和名字的自制标语牌；另一些人则在家中为他欢呼。
“作为波士顿滑冰俱乐部的大家庭，看到他以及我们共同经历的一切，真的会让人热泪盈眶，”哈梅尔-博塔里说，“今晚，他做到了。”
瑙莫夫曾表示，他并不专注于奥运首秀的完美表现。
“我只想全力以赴，”他说，“把一切都留在冰场上，不留遗憾。”
在所有鼓舞人心的奥运故事中，瑙莫夫的表现因其超越分数和排名的深层意义而格外突出。
Friend says Maxim Naumov’s Olympic debut was a dream he shared with his parents, as he carries on their legacy
February 11, 2026 / 11:44 AM EST / CBS News
Milan— When Maxim Naumov stepped onto Olympic ice at the 2026 Winter Games in Milan on Tuesday, he wasn’t alone.
As the music began and the lights reflected off the rink, the 24-year-old American skater was fulfilling a dream he shared with his parents, former Olympic pairs skaters Evgenia Shishkova and Vadim Naumov. They were both killed last year in the midair collision over the Potomac River.
“It was a dream that all of them had,” Susan Hamel-Bottari, a coach at the Skating Club of Boston and a close friend of the family, told CBS News after Naumov skated. “He always says it’s not one, it’s three.”
That dream played out at the Milano Ice Skating Arena during the men’s short program competition on Tuesday.
Right before he took the ice, on the jumbotron over his head, a message appeared: “Mom and Dad, this is for you.”

Naumov then delivered one of the strongest skates of his career, earning a score of 85.65, enough to advance to the free skate round later this week.
But the numbers told only part of his story.
After finishing his program, he dropped to his knees and looked up. The crowd in the stadium let their emotions pour out as well, giving him a standing ovation.
He later pulled out a photo of himself as a small boy and future Olympian, standing on the ice for the first time between his parents.

“I didn’t know if I was going to cry, smile or laugh,” Naumov said afterward. “All I could do was look up at them. I still can’t believe what just happened.”
Inside his Team USA jacket, he carried a short message — one of his father’s favorite reminders: “Expect the unexpected.”
The past year has tested that advice in unimaginable ways.
Shishkova and Naumov were among 67 people killed last year when the passenger aircraft they were on collided with a military helicopter near Washington, D.C. They were on their way home from a skating development camp.

The tragedy devastated their tight-knit skating community, including the Skating Club of Boston, which lost several members.
Hamel-Bottari remembers the shock of that day, and what came after.
“I didn’t know how to respond to him,” she said. “I just told him I would always be there for him.”
His resilience in the months since has been inspiring, Hamel-Bottari told CBS News.
“Every day he would come to the rink, no matter what,” she said. “No matter what he was feeling inside, he showed up. He’s mentally tough. He’s a fighter.”
Naumov leaned into his training, finding both refuge and release.
“With every glide and step that I made on the ice, I couldn’t help but feel their presence,” he said. “Almost like a chess piece on a chessboard.”
Beyond his own competitive goals, Naumov has also carried on with his parents’ work. They founded Tomorrow’s Champions, a development program at the Skating Club of Boston designed to train young skaters through a rigorous mix of on-ice sessions, off-ice conditioning, gymnastics and ballet.
Even while training for the Olympics, Naumov continued teaching in the program.
“The kids love him,” Hamel-Bottari said. “He’s very positive. He learned from the best — from both of them.”
Many of those young skaters were watching as Naumov took to the ice in Milan. Some traveled to Italy and held up handmade signs with their handprints and names. Others cheered from home.
“For us, as the Skating Club of Boston family, to see him and know what we went through, it just brings tears to your eyes,” Hamel-Bottari said. “Tonight, he did it.”
Naumov has said that he wasn’t focused on perfection in his Olympic debut.
“I wanted to go out there and just give my heart out,” he said. “Leave everything out there. Have no regrets.”
Amid all the inspirational Olympic storylines, Naumov’s performance stood apart for reasons far beyond scores and standings.
