Drama about figure skating star: Roman Kostomarov talks to his wife
After waking up from his coma, Kostomarov seems to be on the mend a bit.
According to
TASS
, the former figure skater, who fought for his life for a long time, is now able to communicate with his relatives.
Due to the cautiously positive development, his wife, Oksana Domnina in particular, should be relieved.
She did not leave the side of the Russian figure skating star and Olympic champion in ice dancing in Turin in 2006 in his most difficult hour.
In order to avoid all the hustle and bustle surrounding her husband and still visit him in the hospital, Kostomarov's wife disguised herself as a nurse to avoid being recognized.
Furthermore, it is not known whether the two children, daughter Anastasia and son Ilya, visited their father.
Roman Kostomarow's current state of health remains critical: figure skater responds to therapies
Although Roman Kostomarov may be on the mend, his current health condition remains critical.
The question of whether the Olympic champion will ever be able to go back on the ice remains in the background.
For now, the good news is that the Olympic hero, after waking up from the coma, may be able to move again and the therapies are also working.

There, more fingers are causing the doctors concern.
Due to blood poisoning, parts of the Russian figure skater's hands and feet had already been removed.
Said blood poisoning led to a cerebral hemorrhage, strokes and medicine seemed to have given up hope.
The current news from Kostomarov almost seems like a miracle.

I would like to say words of admiration to Oksana Domnina and Roman's mother, many trials fell on her shoulders," said Ilya Averbukh, a former world champion, recently describing the drama about Kostomarov on
