From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Monty Hoyt (born September 13, 1944 in Denver; died October 9, 1997 in Phoenix) was an American figure skater who competed in men's singles. After winning the U.S. junior title in 1961, he had tickets to be on Sabena Flight 548 to attend the World Figure Skating Championships. He cancelled at the last moment, and the plane crashed, killing everyone aboard. Hoyt won the gold medal at the United States Figure Skating Championships the following year. He finished tenth at the 1964 Winter Olympics.
