Russian figure skating coach Inna Goncharenko has admitted she was shocked by the Olympic ice dance champion’s hospitalization Roman Kostomarova who is in critical condition.
– I was shocked when I found out that Kostomarov was in intensive care. I wish him a speedy recovery. Still, he’s an athlete – let’s hope the body pulls through and the doctors help him. I think he is in good hands.
When I was little, we mostly trained outside. In frost. Even when it was 20 degrees. Our parents smeared our faces with cream, goose fat, so that our noses wouldn’t freeze. We had special clothes – knitted shoe covers, which our mothers knitted with their own hands. We were used to it, we grew up there. We were only allowed to use artificial ice on weekends or for certain merits.
Skating in open arenas is a different volume of air, a different temperature. Willy-nilly, you breathe that cold air. You need to constantly be in some kind of motion, because if you get up, you immediately cool down. And sometimes you have to stand in the show, there are breaks. If a person is not accustomed to this, but accustomed to comfortable conditions, then it is not easy for the body.
I myself had the coronavirus. A kind of overwork, hypothermia and that’s it, it failed. Maybe all of this combined could cause the disease. On the other hand, there are many cases where the infection is simply passed from person to person. And now it’s cold and flu season. Therefore, the number of people around you also plays a role.
Perhaps it would be desirable to introduce a mask regime for such events, shows during the period of exacerbation of infections. At least for the public. To protect our athletes and artists. I think the first thing that affected his condition was the infection. Frosts could be an additional time when the immune system is weakened, Goncharenko told Metaratings.ru.
According to , Kostomarov’s condition remains stable and serious.
