Earlier this year, American figure skater Maxim Naumov made his Olympics debut at the 2026 Games in Milano Cortina. He placed 20th overall. Now, he’s taking on another major challenge as a recruit on Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test.
The show requires celebrity contestants to not only push themselves to the limit physically, but also dig deep to reveal the most emotional parts of themselves. For Maxim, that will undoubtedly include the deaths of his parents, who were killed in a horrific accident in January 2025.
