May 2024 · 2 minute read

Roman Kostomarov was admitted to the hospital in 2023, prompting interest in the latest health updates concerning the former Olympic champion. Kostomarov is most renowned for his gold medal performance with Tatiana Navka at the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, Italy. The pair had a successful career, winning numerous international competitions, including the 2004 and 2005 European Figure Skating Championships. After retiring from competitive skating, Kostomarov pursued a career as a teacher and choreographer, working with several elite ice dance teams.

In early 2024, Kostomarov was hospitalized due to a health issue, dispelling rumors of his death. Despite initial concerns, it was confirmed by his family that he was receiving medical treatment and was alive. Kostomarov was hospitalized on January 10, 2023, with what was first believed to be Covid-19 but was later diagnosed as pneumonia. His condition warranted the use of ventilators for an extended period, and he was eventually transferred to a hospital in Moscow.

Despite receiving medical attention, Kostomarov’s health did not show signs of improvement and continued to deteriorate after being admitted for a severe cold.

As the situation worsened, Kostomarov underwent surgery in Moscow on February 6, 2023, to remove necrotic tissue and prevent further cell damage. The severity of his illness led to the amputation of one of his legs and eventually resulted in the amputation of his second leg. Additionally, he had to be put in an induced coma after experiencing a stroke and a second brain bleed, which affected his eyesight. Although he emerged from the coma, his recovery was minimal.

Amidst his critical condition, Kostomarov is being cared for by his family, including his wife Oksana Domnina, a former competitive ice dancer from Russia. The couple has two children, Anastasia and Illya, whose lives are kept private, although occasional family photographs are shared on their parents’ social media accounts. Oksana posted a photo of her husband on Instagram, expressing her well wishes for his recovery.
