The girlfriend of Russian Olympic hero Dmitri Soloviev has revealed that doctors are treating the ice dancing gold medalist for a brain hematoma after he was attacked in front of her outside a karaoke club after coming to her aid.
The 32-year-old is being cared for by neurologists at the Botkin Hospital in Moscow following an alleged assault outside a venue in the city when he is said to have become embroiled in a horrifying altercation.
Girlfriend Anna Sidorova, the European curling champion who Soloviev is said to have been defending at the time, has now revealed that the 2014 Olympic gold medalist has a brain hematoma amid reports that three men have been detained and are facing years in prison over the alleged incident.
“His condition is still difficult,” Sidorova told her thousands of worried fans on Instagram.

“Communication with him is very limited – doctors forbid him to communicate more often than once or twice a day.
“He says he wants to sleep all the time and his head continues to hurt. The next four days are the most dangerous because even doctors cannot predict changes in hematoma in the brain.”
Stunned Sidorova told the Russian Olympic Committee Telegram channel, via Metaratings, that the group “didn’t touch anyone” and “didn’t do anything” to start the scuffle.
