Nancy Kerrigan, the famous Olympic figure skater, most recently mourned the tragic loss of many members of The Skating Club of Boston, who died in the tragic D.C. plane crash. While her husband, Jerry Solomon, stands beside her as a steady source of support.

A devastating tragedy hit the figure skating community today when American Airlines 5342 struck a U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter, killing several people connected with The Skating Club of Boston.

Nancy Kerrigan, a former club member, was deeply affected by what happened and was photographed visiting the club’s rink in Norwood, Massachusetts, on January 30, 2025.

Kerrigan, who visited the scene on Tuesday, would tell the People that she felt "devastated" and that reaching out to others after a loss like this is crucial. She said:

"I had to be here, This really hits home. The skating community has been through tragedy before."

The victims of the plane crash included the former world pairs champions Evgenia Shiskova and Vadim Naumov, the skater Spencer Lane and his mother Christine, and the skater Jinna Han and her mother Jin.

Citing the tragedy of 1961 when a Sabena flight 548 crashed in Belgium, killing the entire U.S. figure skating team, Kerrigan said she is heartened by how the skating community has survived such tragedies.
