Unfortunately, the Ukrainian athlete just couldn\u2019t make it.<\/p>\n<p>Since then, Bohdan Bondarenko has attempted several times to jump over 2.46m. \u201cFive or Six times\u201d, he confirmed at his arrival at the hotel. Each time success was near, but just not there yet. \u201cI like coming to Lausanne, jumping at Athletissima. It\u2019s my 3rd time here at a worldwide meeting of such class. Every time is great and the public is friendly, welcoming. I also like the town, the lake, this place pleases me a lot.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Thursday, Bohdan Bondarenko will be facing men who, alike him, have jumped 2.40m or more (Barshim, Ukhov, Drouin, Dmitrik).
