• American Airlines Flight 5342 collided with a U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter on Wednesday, Jan. 29.

• There were 14 U.S. figure skaters onboard the passenger plane, according to The Skating Club of Boston CEO Doug Zeghibe, including Jinna Han.

• PEOPLE spoke with members of the skating community who knew the 13-year-old victim.

Jinna Han is being remembered for her bright light on and off the ice.

The 13-year-old figure skater was one of 64 passengers killed in the tragic Wednesday, Jan. 29 midair collision between American Airlines Flight 5342 and a U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter with three soldiers onboard, per CNN.

Jinna has been a member of The Skating Club of Boston since 2020, CEO Doug Zeghibe said in a press conference on Thursday, Jan. 30.

She was identified as one of the 14 U.S. figure skaters onboard the passenger plane. In addition to Jinna, five other victims were members of The Skating Club of Boston, including her mom, Jin Han; teen Spencer Lane and his mother, Christine Lane; and coaches Evgenia Shishkova and Vadim Naumov, who were 1994 world figure skating champions representing Russia.

A clip of Jinna performing her free skate at the 2025 Eastern Sectionals, her last major competition, has since resurfaced.

Initially posted on YouTube in November, the video shows the teenager smiling from ear to ear as she competes in a sparkly pink dress while performing many tricks, including six triple jumps.

She placed fourth in the free skate and fourth overall, earning a berth to the National High-Performance Development Team that followed the 2025 U.S. Figure Skating Championships.

PEOPLE spoke with Team USA Skaters who knew Jinna at The Skating Club of Boston on Thursday.

“Jinna has an amazing smile. Every time you would say her name, she would immediately give you a smile and [say hello] in her high voice,” Misha Mitrofanov, 27, told PEOPLE.
