Heartbroken figure skater who flew home day earlier than pals pays tribute to dead stars A heartbroken figure skater who flew home a day earlier than her friends has paid an emotional tribute to her "baby skating sister" following the tragic American Airlines crash.
Audrey had competed with her friends at the National Development Camp during the US Figure Skating Championships in Wichita last week but decided to come home just a few day earlier than some of her fellow skaters.
Doug Zeghibe, CEO of the Skating Club of Boston, paid tribute to Jina, he said: “We watched Jinna just grow up here from just a tiny little tyke into this amazingly mature 13-year-old.
Audrey Shin paid tribute to 13-year-old Jinna Han who died following the devastating mid-air collision between an Army Black Hawk helicopter and Flight 5342 over the Potomac River in Washington DC.
It wasn't until the Skating Club of Boston revealed the names of its members onboard the American Airlines flight that she knew the tragic outcome.
