Like an Olympic figure skating champion Roman Kostomarov was able to recover and succeed, is an example of this, including for participants in a special military operation who were injured, the president of the Russian Paralympic Committee (RPC) told . Pavel Rozhkov .
Kostomarov has suffered several amputations this year after being hospitalized in January. Subsequently, the skater underwent prosthetic intervention, and in December he went ice skating for the first time, participating in Ilya Averbukh’s show.
— Would you like to use Kostomarov not as a Paralympic athlete, but as an ambassador for the Olympic movement?
– Listen, we have people who underwent a special military operation with injuries and have many awards. Do you think they should be ambassadors for the Paralympic movement? Of course, Roman is a great athlete, he found the strength and motivation to get out of his difficult situation and even appeared on the ice. What he does today commands enormous respect. For SVO participants, he is also an example of how one can recover, find oneself and achieve success,” Rozhkov told the correspondent.
