Figure skater Ilya Averbukh told how spectators helped his colleague, Olympic champion Roman Kostomarov, skate again after losing his limbs. He talked about this with Moscow 24.
“I told the audience during the tour in support of Roman: “We are not raising any funds, we can handle this ourselves. We want only one thing; Write kind words and letters, we will forward them all to the Roma,” Averbukh recalls.
According to Averbukh, fans responded to the request immediately.
“There were so many letters of support and love. These were touching messages, some written in capital letters, some left on the tickets,” said the skater.
According to the artist, Russia is wonderful precisely because of its spirit of support and care.
“I am sure that the audience will definitely see Rome and us together and apart. “Rome is part of my family, part of my life,” he assured.
