Olympic bronze medalist in ice dancing Oksana Domnine said she admired her skater husband’s strength and resilience Romana Kostomarova .
In early 2023, Kostomarov was hospitalized due to pneumonia and complications. The 47-year-old athlete began suffering from tissue necrosis and underwent several limb amputations. Kostomarov then underwent prosthetic surgery, and in December he returned to ice skating in Ilya Averbukh’s show.
— A year after the incident, Roman smiles, laughs, pleases on stage with his successes, loves and inspires people. I never stop admiring my husband, his spirit, his strength. With what dignity he goes through all this. I wish everyone to never give up. You just have to move forward and never give up. Health to all! — a correspondent reports Domnina’s comments.
Kostomarov, together with Tatyana Navka, won gold at the 2006 Olympics in Turin, also became world champion twice and won the European Championships three times.
