Kandelaki – about Kostomarov’s training on the ice: “Roma has been proving for several months that it is too early to put an end to it!”

Deputy General Director of Gazprom-Media Holding Tina Kandelaki commenting on the ice training of Olympic figure skating champion Roman Kostomarov, said that the athlete once again showed the great strength that exists in every person.

On Monday, Kostomarov posted a video on his Telegram channel explaining how he went ice skating for the first time after amputations.

— People are incredible creatures. Each of us has great power. Today, Roman Kostomarov proves it once again. The Olympic champion lost his legs, knees and hands to pneumonia. Of course, many would say this is the end. But Roma has been proving for several months that it is too early to put an end to it!

Today he went skating on the ice for the first time since the tragedy. For Roman, this is a new page in life, and for us, it is an incredible motivation not to stop,” Kandelaki wrote on the Telegram channel.

Kostomarov, partnered with Tatyana Navka, won gold at the 2006 Olympic Games in Turin, and also won the World Championships twice and the European Championships three times.
