Roman Kostomarov, the Olympic figure skating champion, is showing signs of recovery after a serious medical episode. Medical updates report that he is regaining some consciousness and can move his limbs, with clinicians noting that a full recovery will require time. A cautious positive trend is observed, and specialists indicate that final assessments will follow as he continues to heal.
Earlier reports confirmed severe injuries requiring amputation of both legs, a development that was confirmed by state news agencies. The information was shared by multiple outlets, reflecting the gravity of Kostomarov’s condition and the ongoing medical decisions tied to his treatment.
Initial announcements from January revealed Kostomarov was hospitalized and placed in intensive care due to pneumonia. He required artificial lung ventilation, and his condition was described as extremely serious. Medical teams proceeded with aggressive care to stabilize his condition during the critical early phase of his hospitalization.
Before the hospitalization, Kostomarov participated in public skating projects. He appeared in a show based on a well known story, performing between late December and early January. Following those performances, he skated outdoors in Kolomna as part of a winter program associated with a regional project. These appearances highlighted his continued engagement with skating activities even as his health faced challenges.
In the course of his treatment, Kostomarov was relocated to a hospital in Kommunarka, where he underwent intensive support measures and was connected to advanced life support systems. Reports also indicate vision impairment in his right eye and the occurrence of multiple strokes, complicating the medical picture and the recovery plan.
Earlier forecasts had been discouraging, reflecting the seriousness of Kostomarov’s medical condition and the complexity of his treatment. Medical teams have since pursued a multi-faceted approach to support his recovery and monitor evolving neurological and vascular status.
