The athlete is in the Kommunarka hospital of the capital. Today it became clear that Kostomarov’s condition has worsened. Due to progressive gangrene, Roman’s leg may be amputated at the knee.

“Most of the leg is already affected, foot necrosis and sepsis have developed. Doctors suggest that it will be necessary to amputate the leg up to the knee to prevent the infection from developing further. But due to the generally serious condition, they may not survive the operation, so they are still waiting, ”the Mash Telegram channel reports.

The Olympic champion continues to lie on a ventilator under the supervision of specialists. Massive blood clots form in Kostomarov’s legs and hands as a result of severe bacterial and viral pneumonia as well as sepsis (blood poisoning).

Roman’s wife Oksana Domnina is constantly in the ward next to Roman. In the evenings, the figure skater turns off the light in the ward and spends the night with her husband.

Kostomarov fell ill shortly after the filming of “The Ice Age” was completed. His partner Valeria Lanskaya shared her experiences. The actress posted a video from the TV show.

“That’s what I want! Chat and ride with Roma! There is no other way! Today they showed the finale of the project “Ice Age. Together again”. I want to be together again, ”Lanskaya wrote on her personal blog.
