It became known about the deterioration of the state of Kostomarov

The condition of the Olympic champion in ice dancing Roman Kostomarov has worsened. This is reported by the Telegram channel Mash.

As it became known to the publication, the 45-year-old former figure skater was connected not only to a ventilator, but also to an apparatus for saturating the blood with oxygen. The man was diagnosed with progressive pneumonia, intoxication and sepsis. It is specified that he was transferred to a special clinic.

Choreographer Ilya Averbukh told the Sport-Express newspaper that Kostomarov was transferred to the Kommunarka medical center. He noted that the situation is very difficult.

Earlier on Tuesday, January 10, information appeared that Kostomarov was in intensive care. Doctors assessed his condition as serious. Two-time world champion in ice dancing Maxim Stavisky confirmed the connection of the athlete to the ventilator, adding that doctors ruled out the presence of coronavirus.

Together with Tatyana Navka, Kostomarov became the Olympic champion in ice dancing, twice won the world championship, three times became the champion of Europe and the final of the Grand Prix series of the International Skating Union. In 2006, the duo ended their career.
