Olympic ice dancing champion Natalia Bestemyanova admitted that she was delighted with Roman Kostomarov’s performance at choreographer Ilya Averbukh’s show in Moscow.
Kostomarov suffered several amputations after being hospitalized in January. On Sunday, he performed at Ilya Averbukh’s birthday show, appearing on skates at the end of his wife Oksana Domnina’s show with Maxim Shabalin. In addition, together with Tatiana Navka, he performed the program “Carmen”, with this free dance that the skaters won at the 2006 Olympic Games in Turin.
— I wish Ilya great success, health and long life. As for Kostomarov’s performance on the show yesterday, it was a wonderful action that happened and I am surprised. It seems to me that he only started skating a few days ago, at least that’s what they wrote on social media. He is awesome and a hero! — Bestemyanova told RT.
Kostomarov, partnered with Navka, also won the World Championships twice and the European Championships three times.
