The whole country is watching the fate of figure skater Roman Kostomarov. The Olympic champion suffered a serious illness and literally returned from the dead. Now Kostomarov is recovering and preparing for prosthetics.
Why does Kostomarov always wear hats?
Recently, Kostomarov published a new video on social networks in which he exercises on an exercise bike using temporary prostheses. The skater looked cheerful and, as always, had a hat on his head.

Why does Kostomarov love hats so much? He seems to wear a beanie or baseball cap all the time—on vacation, at events, and during interviews. Even on the ice, the skater wrapped a bandana around his head, maintaining his usual image.

It turns out that Kostomarov is more comfortable in hats: he feels more confident in them. Roman’s hair began to fall out about 10 years ago. He didn’t want to shave his head or get hair extensions, so he started wearing hats, which became part of his image.

Kostomarov believes that wearing hats makes him look younger:
“I once felt more comfortable on the ice: my hair began to thin, but your partner still needs hair when you dance. In single skating this is somewhat easier. Well, now I’m just used to it,” the skater admits.
