The Washington Figure Skating Club (WFSC) and the Skating Club of Northern Virginia
(SCNV) are devastated by the tragic mid-air collision over the Potomac River on
Wednesday night. This heartbreaking accident has shaken the local skating community
in Virginia, Maryland, the District of Columbia—as well as in Boston and across the
nation.
Our hearts go out to families, friends, and loved ones mourning this unimaginable grief.
As we continue to process this tragedy, we honor the memories of those who we have
lost—their passion for the sport, the friendships they cultivated, and the joy they brought
to the ice. Their presence at our rinks and in our community is deeply felt, and their
absence is indescribable.
WFSC and SCNV are deeply committed to supporting our skaters, their families, and
the wider figure-skating community during this heartbreaking time. We know that there
is much concern and confusion about who was on the flight, and will share the list once
it has been confirmed.
