Roman Kostomarov published a new training video with prosthetic legs
Olympic champion in ice dancing Roman Kostomarov showed a video from a training session in the hospital. He posted it on Instagram (social network banned in Russia; owned by Meta, which is recognized as extremist and banned in the Russian Federation).
In the footage, the skater performs leg swings and practices climbing stairs. He has prostheses on his legs. “Every day I try to do something new… But I already want to run and jump,” he signed the video.
According to the Telegram channel “112”, the skater was given temporary prostheses, but individual and modern ones have already been ordered. It is noted that specialists from Germany came to the Moscow clinic to consult Kostomarov on their use.
Kostomarov was admitted to the hospital on January 10 with pneumonia and influenza B. Due to the prolonged connection to a blood oxygenator and a ventilator, tissue began to die. According to Moskovsky Komsomolets, the doctors had to amputate both feet of the figure skater, then the shins of both legs, the entire right hand and several fingers of the left.
