figure skating seems to be a very dangerous profession...
see "the Iron Lotus" from "Blades of Steel" - LOL
Ukranian national figure skating champion that time.
What have they got against figure skaters?
If I remember correctly, this man had just returned from the 2014 Olympics in Sochi Russia. He died in a plane crash on a day that was perfect for flying. It didn't make any sense.
Lotsa parallels in this.
Sadly... yes. I reposted because I remembered how strange it was at the time. Now it is even more bizarre.
That is a coinkydink.
There are no coinkydinks- commie Shapiro
Yes.
I remember another plane crash that occurred in the 60s when the entire American olympic team was killed in a plane crash.
It happened in 1961, Flight 548. Both numbers add up to 17.

Wow!
I was quite young at the time. I used to have my skates sharpened by the same man who sharpened the skates of the team just before they left on the flight. He told me about it.
Whoever downvoted me, is there a problem?
