But first,
the elite ice skating community is reeling after the crash between an American Airlines passenger plane
and an Army Blackhawk helicopter over the Potomac river on Wednesday night.
All 67 people on board these aircraft died.
14 of the victims were en route to Washington from a national figure skating development camp in Wichita, Kansas.
Among them, two sisters, 14 year old Everly and 11 year old Olidia Livingston, and their parents from the D.C. area.
Six of the victims were from the Skating Club of Boston.
13 year old Gina Hahn and 16 year old Spencer Lane were described as the future of the sport.
Their mothers were also on board, as well as two coaches at the club,
Russian figure skaters Evgenia Shishkova and Vadim Naumov.
They were married and they won the world championship in pairs figure skating in 1994.
In Paris, Doug Zegheib, the CEO and executive director of the Skating Club of Boston, addressed reporters yesterday.
Skating is a very close and tight knit community.
