Russia’s Olympic ice dance icon Roman Kostomarov may now reportedly lose his hands after undergoing surgery to amputate his feet after contracting severe pneumonia.
The multiple world and European champion famously won ice dancing gold with Tatiana Navka at the 2006 Winter Olympics in Italy, but last month was admitted to an intensive care unit at a hospital in Moscow’s Kommunarka district.
He was placed in a medically-induced coma and facing the threat of sepsis and issues with blood circulation, surgeons removed both of Kostomarov’s feet. But now Russia’s official state media agency TASS has said further amputation may yet take place.
