The incident caused a resonance in Russian figure skating
Choreographer Ilya Averbukh supported Kostomarov and wished him a speedy recovery. His words are quoted by Sport-Express.
The situation is very difficult, but he will get out, I believe that everything will be fine!
Three-time Olympic champion in figure skating, State Duma deputy Irina Rodnina criticized Kostomarov.
Recycling – not only in figure skating, but in life in general – does not always bring positive results. I understand that the holidays, a lot of plans, but you’re not 18 years old.
Honorary President of the Russian Figure Skating Federation (FFKKR) Valentin Piseev, in a conversation with Match TV, called Kostomarov a strong personality.
I hope that fighting qualities will help Roma at this difficult moment. I’m sure he can get out of such a difficult situation.
The figure skater’s father Sergei Kostomarov also commented on his son’s hospitalization.
A nightmare. Where could he get sick?
During the New Year holidays, Kostomarov performed in ice shows
On holidays, Kostomarov participated in the ice show “The Wizard of Oz”. On January 8, the skater also made three outdoor performances in Kolomna, Zaraysk and Kashira near Moscow. Choreographer Maxim Stavisky said that a colleague coughed during performances, but did not seek medical help.
Honored coach of the USSR Tatyana Tarasova told RIA Novosti that she considers the skaters’ performance in the cold to be absolutely normal.
Performances in the cold? I skated in the cold, we all skated and trained in such conditions. Previously, there were no indoor skating rinks.
Kostomarov won Olympic gold paired with Tatyana Navka
Kostomarov achieved the main success in tandem with Tatyana Navka. In 2006, the duo won the gold of the Olympic Games in Turin. In addition, the couple won the World Championship twice, the European Championship three times and the final of the Grand Prix series of the International Skating Union. In 2006, the athletes completed their careers.
