According to Sport-Express, Olympic champion in figure skating Roman Kostomarov suffered another stroke, which resulted in a cerebrovascular blockage. It is noted that Kostomarov spent the whole night in intensive care. The ex-figure skater was given plasmapheresis (blood purification) due to blood sepsis. He was diagnosed with secondary meningitis. Recall, on January 10, Match TV reported on the hospitalization of Kostomarov. After that, he spent about two weeks in a coma, which caused numerous complications and body dysfunctions. On the night of February 15, it became known about a rapid deterioration of his condition due to fibrosis in his left lung. Before that, the former figure skater had both feet amputated. From the very beginning of the year, Roman Kostomarov has been struggling with a serious illness. Recently, the world champion in figure skating suffered a stroke and surgery to remove limbs. Doctors continue to fight for the health of the athlete, but the disease will not recede. Two days ago, a source close to the situation said that the skater had suffered a stroke. Due to an acute violation of the blood supply to the brain, additional side effects have appeared that require medical intervention. And drugs, in turn, can have a bad effect on Kostomarov's immunity. The athlete's condition continues to cause concern. Kostomarov, 46, is now reportedly suffering from life-threatening edema. Doctors continue to keep the eminent patient in an artificial coma and are in no hurry to bring the skater back to consciousness. “The edema has moved to the head, they are still afraid to remove it from medical sleep, ophthalmologists regularly examine it, while it is all in edema and it’s too early to talk about something,” the source said.

Positive result after blood purification A few days ago, they said that Kostomarov had a stroke, which led to blockage of cerebral vessels. The Olympic champion spent the night in intensive care, his blood was cleaned due to sepsis. Roman was diagnosed with secondary meningitis, as there was a complication from another disease. The measures taken, apparently, gave a result - in recent days the condition was stable, the indicators began to improve during the past evening and night. The cleansing of the blood helped. In this case, a good symptom is a gradual recovery - a quick one is usually accompanied by an equally rapid extinction. Doctors continue to study Kostomarov's tests and avoid sudden intervention so as not to harm the skater. Experts do not yet draw final conclusions - it is still too early, the situation can change in just a few hours. But after the nightmare of the last days, there is at least a restrained optimism for the moment. The media report on the stabilization of the skater's condition and a gradual recovery. The life and health of Roman Kostomarov continue to be under threat. News about his condition is like a swing - as soon as they told about the improvement, new problems are immediately reported. Sunday information from the first category - according to sources, after cleansing the blood, the figure skater's performance began to improve. While Kostomarov is in the hospital, the tour of the show “Ice Age. Together again" by Ilya Averbukh. Funds from ticket sales will be used, among other things, to restore the Olympic champion in ice dancing. Roman participated in the show for 19 years - it is extremely difficult to imagine the Ice Age without this skater. “We are all in such a state ... very tense, worried, and pray that everything is fine with Roma. But you can’t help skating, you can’t help but go out to people, and I’m sure that Roman would have supported us very much in this. Of course, now everyone has incredible experiences, sadness in connection with the situation, but we are praying with him. Each of us. I don’t know, it’s hard for me to express it, ” Aleksey Tikhonov shared his feelings with SE at a show in Cherepovets.

Reflections on the causes of Kostomarov's disease While Kostomarov's health remains in limbo, a discussion continues on social networks about the reasons for this situation. Many people call it a problem to perform in an open ice show. Skaters often skate in the cold in light clothes, and then come to warm dressing rooms. The temperature difference is large, which can provoke problems with the body. At the same time, figure skaters have been performing on open ice for a long time. But there were no such sad high-profile stories before. “Initially, they performed only at open rinks, this is how figure skating began in Russia and the world. And now skaters also perform on the street, on good ice and not very good, but they bring joy with their skating ... When you go out on the ice, you have to be stretched, the skating itself takes four minutes, during which the human body works. The most important thing is that you just have to not hang out in the cold and return to a warm room. It's not critical. Considering the joy that figure skaters give to people with their performances, I don’t see anything wrong here. It’s just that these switchings from heat to frost and vice versa must be controlled,” Tikhonov said. Athletes are not superhumans who are not taken by any diseases. On the contrary, due to heavy loads, the body can easily be susceptible to various infections - to some extent, on the contrary, it is weakened. Skaters rarely have vacations, they are constantly busy, so they often have to perform both with a temperature and not feeling very well. What can we say about athletes if all other people also rarely go to the doctors when symptoms of SARS appear and stay at home? Alexey Tikhonov told SE that he also spoke to the sick: “I also had moments during the pandemic when I was sick and didn’t know what it was. All tests showed a negative result. But I felt incredibly bad. I had to skate because the ["Ice Age"] project was going on. Not on open skating rinks, but still I understood that this is a huge burden on the body, Appropriate preparation for going out on the ice, suitable clothing, a quick return to warmth are the key points that should be observed in order not to get sick. Why it happened with Kostomarov is an open question. Some at first said that Roman was treated by diving into the hole, but the father of the Olympic champion denied this information. Now the most important thing is to do everything so that Roman's health indicators continue to improve.

The presence of parasites could theoretically undermine the health of the Olympic champion in figure skating Roman Kostomarov. This was told by a retired lieutenant colonel of the medical service, a well-known sports doctor Alexander Yablunovsky in an interview with kp.ru.
“There are many factors that reduce immunity, and when they are combined, complications in the body will increase. Of course, if there was hidden oncology, then immunity ... Oncology itself initially occurs against the background of reduced immunity. The presence of some parasites, this also significantly reduces body resistance," the doctor said.
"Waking up" Kostomarov after a coma may drag on for a week Yablunovsky added that parasites tend to be forgotten. In addition, even analysis does not always allow us to detect them.
“And then, there is a very wide variety of them, from large to protozoa in the form of giardia, amoebas. And any parasitic infection reduces immunity,” the expert summed up.
Recall that at the beginning of the year, Roman Kostomarov was in intensive care with pneumonia . There, he developed sepsis, after which the doctors amputated his feet and several fingers on his hands. The prominent figure skater later suffered a quarter-brain injury, two strokes, and loss of vision in one of his eyes. However, it recently became known that the athlete began to come out of a coma.
