Problem Statement

Acute triangle ABCABC is inscribed in a circle with center OO. The reflections of OO across the three altitudes of the triangle are called UU, VV, WW: UU over the altitude from AA, VV over the altitude from BB, and WW over the altitude from CC. Let A\ell_A be a line through AA parallel to VWVW, and define B\ell_B, C\ell_C similarly. Prove that the three lines A\ell_A, B\ell_B, C\ell_C are concurrent.
