“The story of Kostomarov – overcoming and will” – Enbert

The story of an Olympic figure skating champion Romana Kostomarova it’s about surpassing yourself and wanting to, says the 2018 Games silver medalist Alexandre Enbert .

Kostomarov suffered several amputations after being hospitalized in January. On Sunday, he performed at Ilya Averbukh’s anniversary show, appearing for the first time on skates at the end of his wife Oksana Domnina’s show with Maxim Shabalin. Then, together with Tatiana Navka, he performed the program “Carmen”; with this free dance, the skaters won the 2006 Olympic Games in Turin.

“I’m very happy with that, I’m happy Roman is on the ice, I’m happy he’s skating. And, of course, it’s a huge overachievement that he achieves. I admire his will. In the summer, when “Letters of Love” was playing, we saw when he came out on the ice, it was very strong emotions. We stayed backstage and applauded his entrance onto the ice.

Three months have passed and he is already on the ice on skates. We stand backstage again and applaud the fact that he goes out on the ice and not only comes out, but already skates a program. We must understand that these are only the first steps. I’m sure that with such desire, with such motivation, it will continue, and I’m happy that Roman remains on the ice. So here, I just admire Roman’s willpower.

This story goes far beyond figure skating. It is truly a story of surpassing oneself, a story of will. And the story is probably this: if there is an inner desire, nothing is impossible. This goes way beyond figure skating,” Enbert said, as quoted by Metaratings.ru.
