Ideal sports career - Olympic champion, two-time world champion, three-time champion of Russia and Europe in ice dancing. But in January last year, a sudden illness practically took the life of Roman Kostomarov. He was in a coma, doctors performed several operations on him and were forced to amputate his limbs. The prognosis for recovery was less than one percent. But he survived. Thanks to the love and support of his family and loved ones, he did not lose faith and embarked on the path of recovery. And just 11 months later, Roman again took to the ice with his partner Tatyana Navka to perform their famous “Carmen” program, which brought them an Olympic gold medal. He, like his bullfighter hero, was able to tame the disease and regain a full life.
