“No, I’m not a cybatlet, even though I’m in that condition.
I respect everyone who wants to compete, but I lost my competition.
I no longer need to prove anything to anyone, I have already proven everything in sports.
Many people offer to go swimming, for example, but I don’t need it,” TASS quotes Kostomarov.
On January 10, 2023, an athlete with pneumonia was admitted to intensive care.
Due to the development of necrosis, his arms and legs were amputated.
At the beginning of July, the skater was discharged from the hospital.
On December 17, Kostomarov took to the ice for the first time after amputation and performed a number with his professional sports partner Tatyana Navka.
Earlier, Kostomarov admitted that he still had not come to terms with the loss of limbs after a serious illness.
