Kostomarov said that it was difficult for him to watch videos of his performances before the amputation
Olympic champion in ice dancing Roman Kostomarov spoke about the difficulties of life with prosthetics. The ex-athlete spoke on air on the NTV channel.
“No matter what they do, no matter what prostheses they install. This will not replace my arms and legs. You can still live without legs, but how can you live without arms? The whole life is built on this,” Kostomarov said, adding that now it is very difficult for him to look at photographs and videos of his previous performances.
Kostomarov regularly shows how he continues to recover after amputation and trains. On August 22, the athlete took to the ice for the first time in Averbukh’s show together with his wife Oksana Domnina.
Kostomarov was hospitalized on January 10 with pneumonia and influenza B. Due to prolonged connection to a blood oxygenation machine and a ventilator, his tissue began to die. Doctors amputated both feet of the skater, then the shins of both legs, the entire hand of his right hand and several fingers of his left.
