Kostomarov about the possibility of giving lectures: “If my example inspires someone to get up from the sofa, I am ready to share my experience”

Olympic figure skating champion Roman Kostomarov said he was ready to give lectures and motivate people by his example.

On Saturday, December 2, an open dialogue “Iron Will and Technologies for Life” takes place with Kostomarov within the framework of the “Russia” forum in the “Made by Us” pavilion of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Federation from Russia to VDNKh. Since January this year, the skater has suffered several amputations after being hospitalized.

— Do you consider classes as a future activity?

— I’m considering classes if people are interested. If my example inspires someone to get off the couch and move forward, I am ready to share my experience. I’m not the same figure skater I was before. I have the opportunity to go out on the ice in sneakers just to see my wife. I will work on myself, language has never been my strong point, my strong point was my strong point (laughs), – reports correspondent Kostomarov’s words.

Kostomarov, together with Tatyana Navka, won the 2006 Turin Olympics in ice dancing, became a two-time world champion and a three-time European champion.
