Maxim Naumov turned his Olympic debut into a powerful tribute … honoring his late parents while competing on the biggest stage of his life.

The 24-year-old Team USA figure skater finally lived out the dream he once shared with his mom and dad -- stepping onto Olympic ice on Tuesday while carrying their memory with him every step of the way.

Naumov arrived at the Olympics with far more on his shoulders than just medals and scores nearly a year after losing his parents, Vadim Naumov and Evgenia Shishkova. They were among 67 people who lost their lives when a United States Army Black Hawk helicopter collided mid-air with an American Airlines jet near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport on January 29, 2025.

And he delivered.

Naumov skated with emotion and precision in his Olympic short program, posting a season-best 85.65 -- then brought a photo of his parents into the kiss-and-cry … the same picture of him stepping onto the ice as a baby that’s followed him throughout the season.

Those close to the skating world say the Olympics represented the ultimate shared goal for the Naumov family -- one Maxim never imagined reaching without his parents by his side.

After earning his Olympic spot at the U.S. Figure Skating Championships, Naumov made it clear that resilience has been his driving force through grief, pressure and doubt.

The search for Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 -- the commercial flight packed full of passengers that mysteriously went missing over the Indian Ocean in 2014 -- is set to resume Tuesday.

The Malaysian Transport Ministry issued a statement earlier this month to announce the UK and U.S.-based marine robotics company Ocean Infinity would be conducting intermittent seabed search operations for a period of 55 days.

Ocean Infinity will be searching a nearly 6,000-square-mile portion of the Indian Ocean's seabed during its new operation. The company also struck a contract with the Malaysian government, which will pay Ocean Infinity $70 million ... but only if it finds wreckage, reports The Guardian.

Ocean Infinity previously conducted a search for wreckage in 2018, although nothing was found over a period of three months.

The missing airplane was only an hour into a flight from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, to Beijing, China, on March 8, 2014, when it suddenly departed from its intended course and disappeared. Most of its 227 passengers were Chinese citizens, and passengers from various other countries, including the United States, France, and Taiwan, were also on board.

Its astounding disappearance resulted in one of the biggest underwater search operations in history being launched, and over 46,000 square miles of the southern Indian Ocean was covered during the search, which ended in January 2017.
