At the end of his figure skating performance, when the last note of his parents’ favorite song played in an arena packed with spectators and heavy with sorrow, Maxim Naumov dropped to his knees at the center of the ice. He remained there for what seemed like forever, awash in a spotlight, looking lost and sobbing.

The victims of D.C.'s January plane crash, along with first responders, will be honored during a tribute event at Capital One Arena on Sunday afternoon.
