Yana Rudkovskaya, wife of two-time Olympic champion Evgeni Plushenko, named Olympic champion Romana Kostomarova heroes of 2023.
On Sunday, Kostomarov took part in his wife Oksana Domnina’s number with Maxim Shabalin at the anniversary show of choreographer Ilya Averbukh in Moscow. Kostomarov went ice skating for the first time after amputations.
— Roma Kostomarov is not only a hero of our time, but also, undoubtedly, a hero of this outgoing year. A symbol of confrontation and courage that destroys all stereotypes, formats and frames!
The impossible is possible through the power of will and mind. The character of the Olympic champion cannot be broken! Today he is already on the ice and twirling his wife at the Averbukh show. We are happy and proud of this guy,” Rudkovskaya 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.
