“You will find your way. The main thing is to live ": how in the world of figure skating they congratulated Kostomarov on his birthday

Olympic champion in ice dancing Roman Kostomarov on Wednesday, February 8, celebrated his 46th birthday.

Unfortunately, the skater spent it in a hospital in Kommunarka, where doctors continue to fight for the health of the athlete.

Details about his condition are known only to relatives and friends, but they do not disclose and ask journalists not to speculate either. 

“Dear press.

Please.

Stop calling me, relatives, acquaintances, friends.

I understand that it is your job to get information and write what is true and not true.

But only Roman, if he sees fit, will tell about everything when he recovers!

And it will definitely happen soon!

You just need to be patient!

Everyone!”

- Oksana Domnina, Kostomarov's wife, wrote on social networks.

The world champion in ice dancing touchingly congratulated her husband on the holiday.

She noted that a year ago, their family, even in their worst dreams, could not imagine what would happen.

According to one version, the athlete's left foot was amputated the day before, according to the second, both.

“Happy birthday my hero… my strong… my beloved… my champion of everything!

I am proud of you, your courage, your strength, your zeal to win as soon as possible in these difficult moments!

We will overcome everything, we will cope with everything, I believe!

Just live.

Thanks to all the kind people.

Only with good thoughts, prayers, positive energy can we support Roman and help him, since from the point of view of medicine, everything possible and impossible is being done, ”Domnina wrote on social networks.

Many well-known figure skaters left words of support for the family and Roman under Oksana's publication: Ekaterina Bobrova, Dmitry Solovyov, Victoria Sinitsina, Maxim Trankov, Adelina Sotnikova, Irina Slutskaya.

Tatyana Navka, who performed in a duet with Kostomarov and won the gold of the Olympic Games with him, promised to always be there.

“You are strong, brave, stubborn, daring, omnipotent, with a real sports and fighting character!

You never give up!

And, no matter what happens, in any circumstances you will find your meaning of life and your path.

The main thing is to live, ”Navka wrote.

Choreographer Ilya Averbukh, who worked with Kostomarov for many years, is also ready to go through all future tests with the skater, no matter what the cost.

“Roma, my dear man, we are of the same blood, we are one family - and it will always be so!

We are together in joy and in sorrow.

And this is our strength.

A force that is and always will be!

Roma, I'm with you!

— wrote Averbukh in social networks.

The mother of the athlete, Valentina Nikolaevna, could not hold back her tears, talking to reporters that day.

The son has always been the main support in her life.

“The fact that he was born today is a great happiness for us.

And then it was so, and now, in life.

The fact that I have him, and the fact that he always supported me, always ...

 I could only rely on him.

Do you understand?

Therefore, now, of course, I pray to God for his health, for the doctors who around him perform miracles simply.

What they can, they do everything ... Let him be healthy, then everything will be fine with us!

- quote the words of the mother of the athlete "Arguments and Facts".

Honored coach of the USSR Tatyana Tarasova also did not stand aside.

She posted on social networks a photo in which she sits with Kostomarov, his wife and son.

“We are always there!

We believe everything will be fine!”

— wrote the expert.

No less touching post was made by the Olympic champion Maxim Trankov.

“Romka, happy birthday to you, man.

We're all looking forward to you celebrating what we missed, just chatting and arguing.

You are missing on the ice and in life, ”the skater admitted. 

According to two-time world champion Evgenia Medvedeva, in the world of figure skating, full of intrigues and scandals, she was always very pleased to communicate with Roman.

He never pushes away from himself and comes to the rescue at the right moment.

“I will not hesitate to ask him for advice and I know he will always respond.

And I want to consult with this person for many, many more years.

I am proud to know such a strong and courageous person.

And I also admire Oksana's fortitude.

Roma, Oksana - you are an example for me!

Roma, happy birthday to you!

Thank you for being you!

Good health to you!

See you soon!"

— Medvedev wrote in the Telegram channel.

The Minister of Sports of the Russian Federation Oleg Matytsin, congratulating the skater, noted the incredible endurance and stamina of Kostomarov.

According to the official, their duet with Navka was distinguished by impeccable accuracy in the performance of numbers, and the free dance "Carmen" still remains the standard of quality in the world of figure skating.

“Today I would like to wish him strength and health.

The whole big sports world is worried about Roman and hopes for his speedy recovery.

The only truly valuable gift that we can all give him is faith, ”TASS quoted Matytsin as saying.

RT columnist Elena Vaitsekhovskaya also recalled how Navka and Kostomarov won the gold medal of the Games.

She was given to them with great difficulty: at the beginning of the Olympic season, the partner was injured.

“In 2006, I saw you become an Olympic champion.

I saw over the years how you went to this.

Long, hard, sometimes bloody.

And that gold medal of yours is valuable not because it was won, but because you completed the most difficult, inhumanly difficult task that an athlete can face.

You did it, Romka.

Because you are the man your partner could always lean on like a rock.

You always knew it, and she knew - that's why you had more responsibility ...

I want you to always, no matter how difficult it is, no matter how strong despair sometimes comes, remember: you can do everything, Romka!

You already did it, boy!

He did the impossible.

And I’m sure you will be able to overcome everything again, ”Vaitsekhovskaya wrote.

Honored coach of Russia Alexander Zhulin also drew attention to the courage of Kostomarov.

“Roma, we do not stop praying for you and believe that you will get better soon!

Hold on, fighter!

Happy birthday!

As Oksana Domnina correctly wrote, we can all help now only with positive thoughts and support!

Let's wait for the news, and I hope and believe that they will sound from the lips of Roman himself!
