Maxim's parents Evgenia Shiskova and Vadim Naumov were among the 67 victims who died in the Jan. 29 American Airlines crash

The figure skating son of the former world champions and coaches who were killed in the American Airlines tragedy in Washington, D.C. sobbed after an emotional performance dedicated to his late parents Sunday.

The memorial event at Capital One Arena was co-hosted by Olympic champions Brian Boitano and Kristi Yamaguchi.

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.

Figure skaters took to the ice in Washington, D.C., Sunday to honor the victims of the deadly midair collision that claimed the lives of 67 people, including many in the close-knit skating community.

A star-studded group of some of the best U.S. figure skaters of the past and present took the ice in the nation's capital to remember and raise money for the victims of the midair collision outside Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport.
