Bohdan Bondarenko, like Yelena Isinbayeva, woke up the crowd in Luzhniki stadium, with his brilliant jumping and his emotional celebrations. It is as if Bohdan is trying to reach for the stars-and he nearly made it!
Setting a national record of 2.41 meters, which was also the meet record, and world leader, Bohdan Bondarenko became the high jump winner and the Shoe Addicts video focus for the Big Event on Day six! His attempts at 2.46 meters blew the crowd away!
Fly Bohdan, Fly!

With an array of fantastic performances at the 2013 IAAF World Championships, Moscow, our day 6 athlete stood out among the rest. Bohdan Bondarenko (UKR) blew the field away in the high jump, not only equaling his personal best (2.41), but also ended up with a NR, WL & CR. Congrats Bohdan, we hope to see you break the WR soon enough!
