Ice dancing Olympic champion Roman Kostomarov is being prepared for an operation to amputate his toes. This became known to the Mash Telegram channel.

According to the source, due to the long connection to the blood oxygen saturation device (ECMO), Kostomarov began to die of tissues, gangrene spread to his toes. Since the ex-skater remains connected to a ventilator, there remains a high risk of developing pneumonia and sepsis.

On February 1, a source from Lenta.ru reported that nothing threatened Kostomarov’s life. At the same time, it was noted that his fingers could be amputated.
