Fr. Jake Martin, faculty member in the LMU School of Film and Television, authored a piece in America Magazine on U.S. Olympic figure skater Maxim Naumov, who lost both parents, former World Champion skaters and highly respected coaches, in the January 2025 plane crash that killed 28 members of the figure skating community. Martin reflects on Naumov’s extraordinary resilience and how his Olympic performance transcended sport to become a public prayer and collective moment of grief and healing for audiences worldwide.
