Kostomarov compared prosthetic hands to a suit for going out

Olympic ice dancing champion Roman Kostomarov stated that he does not use prosthetic hands in everyday situations.

In January 2023, the skater was hospitalized after New Year’s performances in an open-air show. He was reported to be in intensive care for pneumonia and on a ventilator, and his condition was deemed extremely serious. Then he was treated in Kommunarka. Parts of his arms and legs were amputated.

— If we’re talking about prosthetic legs, then, of course, I use them all the time. For a person who wants to move, to walk, it is truly a salvation. As for the hands, they are more like a suit for going out: I wear them only for events and for filming, I don’t use them at home at all, ”the athlete told Gazeta.Ru.
