Button is widely considered one of the greatest figure skaters of all time. He was the first American skater to win an Olympic gold medal in 1948 and repeated as Olympic champion in 1952, after he successfully landed the first double axel and triple jump in competition.

The Skating Club of Boston was dark Thursday, as friends and teammates grieved six people who died in Wednesday's D.C. plane crash. Friday, the rink reopened as a sign of resilience.

Dick Button, the two-time Olympic champion who revolutionized figure skating and literally took the sport to new heights, died Thursday, US Figure Skating said. He was 95 years old.

Evgenia Shishkova and Vadim Naumov, the 1994 world figure skating champions in pairs, lost their lives in the crash. They represented Russia but moved to the US, where they launched successful coaching careers.

The two-time gold medalist continued to share his love for figure skating throughout his life, even becoming a TV analyst for the sport.
