olympic medalist diver Alexandre Bondar said he would not compare the number of points from the World Cup and the Friendship Games in Kazan.
Bondar and European Championship medalist Ruslan Ternovoy scored 511.65 points in the first leg of the Friendship Games in synchronized platform diving. At the World Championships in Budapest, the Chinese duo, winner of the competition, scored 467.79 points in synchronization on this projectile.
– Personally, I can’t compare it, it’s a completely different level of competition. Everything is different here – from the heat, from the atmosphere to the number of opponents, – Bondar told reporters. – Here in Kazan we finished the program about the same as at the Russian Championships – somewhere a little better, somewhere a little worse.
Bondar is a bronze medalist at the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo, as well as a multiple medalist at the World and European Championships.
