The Minister of Sports of Russia Oleg Matytsin expressed his support for the Olympic champion in ice dancing Roman Kostomarov. He is quoted by RIA Novosti.
“We are all very worried, let’s hope, we will all believe that things are going better, strength is increasing,” Matytsin shared. He said that everyone is worried about the condition of the 46-year-old athlete, and wished him a speedy recovery.
On May 8, Kostomarov published his first appeal after hospitalization. “Thanks to everyone who worried about me, prayed for me, believed that I would get out of this most difficult situation that life had given me,” the skater wrote. He also thanked his family, friends and doctors.
Kostomarov was admitted to the hospital on January 10 with pneumonia and influenza B. Due to the long connection to the blood oxygenator and the ventilator, tissue began to die. According to Moskovsky Komsomolets, the doctors had to amputate both feet of the figure skater, then the lower legs of both legs, the entire right hand, and several fingers of the left hand.
