The Olympic champion from Torino 2006 in dance pairs with Tatiana Navka - Roman Kostomarov, may be transferred to a hospital in Germany.

The goal is rehabilitation and fitting of prostheses to replace amputated limbs, Russian media reported.

German doctors are already in Moscow to prepare the figure skater.

However, not all Russian doctors support the idea of ​​quick prosthetics for Kostomarov, considering it life-threatening.

The famous figure skater has been in "Komunarka" hospital for three months, and during that time he underwent amputation first of both feet, then of part of his right hand, as well as of all the fingers of his left.

Recent surgical interventions have stopped the developing gangrene and tissue death.

Roman is now permanently conscious and records voice messages to colleagues promising to get better as doctors repair his severely drug-damaged liver.

It is said that the champion is now strong enough to undergo the prosthetics process and get artificial limbs.

German specialists play a big role in the treatment of the Olympic champion.

For three months, they consulted with Russian video link specialists and spoke with Kostomarov's wife, Oksana Domnina.

The latter is a bronze medalist from the Vancouver Games in figure skating.

"Two professors came to Kostomarov to adjust the treatment. Now the doctors are looking for an opportunity to prepare him for life with prostheses. The decision on a possible move to Germany will be made by Roman and his wife," a source told REN TV.

The rehabilitator and candidate of medical sciences, Alexander Shishonin, advises Kostomarov to slowly regain his physical form before being fitted with prosthetics.

The head of the department of sports traumatology of the International Health Center, Maxim Korolev, also took a stand on the topic, recalling that there is a patient who actively plays hockey with a bionic prosthesis instead of a leg.

"Now bionics is at a very high level. It's a surgical intervention: tendons, muscles, neurosensors are connected to the prosthesis. If it's a prosthetic hand, then patients can safely pick up a glass and they can tell if it's cold or hot. But this it costs a lot, a lot of money," the doctor says, BTV broadcasts.
