Ukrainian Bojan BONDARENKO, World champion last year in Moscow, will face up his main rivals. Among them, Russian Ivan UKHOV – Olympic champion in 2012 in London and Qatari Mutaz BARSHIM – world indoor champion in Sopot this winter. The Canadian Derek DROUIN, twice bronze medalist in Moscou and London, and the American Erik KYNARD, London Olympic Games silver medalist, will be also among the challengers.

Some figures?
