In the Botkin hospital, they talked about the condition of the beaten Olympic figure skating champion Dmitry Solovyov. RIA Novosti reports.
According to the source, the athlete must still remain in the department. The doctors said that the skater is in a moderate condition.
Solovyov was beaten on December 21 in Moscow by two students from Chita when he stood up for his beloved, curling player Anna Sidorova. The moment of the attack was captured by a video surveillance camera.
