Support Maxim Naumov: A Son's Unthinkable Loss

Support Maxim Naumov in His Time of Loss

Maxim Naumov (23) is the only child of Vadim Naumov (55) and Genia Shishkova (52), both of whom tragically passed away in the recent plane crash of Flight 5342 from Wichita to DC. Vadim and Genia were not only beloved figures in the figure skating world, but also Olympians and 1994 World Pairs Champions.

Just last week, Maxim achieved a remarkable milestone in his own career, earning the pewter medal at the US Nationals Senior Men’s event. Throughout his journey, Vadim supported him from the boards, while Genia, always too nervous to watch him compete live, would cheer him on backstage. Their final social media post was a heartfelt message expressing how proud they were of Maxim’s achievements.

This fund is dedicated to helping Maxim cover the funeral expenses for his parents and to support him during this incredibly difficult time, as he takes the time he needs to grieve the loss of his beloved family. Your support is deeply appreciated as Maxim navigates this unimaginable hardship. This fundraiser was set up by Maxim’s dentist and friend and all funds will go directly to Maxim.
