“Mom and Dad, this is for you,” the Jumbotron screen read as 24-year-old Maxim Naumov skated to the center of the rink for his Olympic debut in Milan. What followed was an emotional figure skating routine in the men’s short program. Naumov held up a picture of himself as a little boy with his parents after his very first routine while he waited for his scores in the kiss-and-cry section. A joyful smile overcame Naumov when he landed a season-best score of 85.65 points, which placed him fourteenth overall in the competition. With tears in his eyes, he pulled the photo to his face and kissed it. Maxim Naumov is an Olympian, and ALWAYS will be!
