2005 To Present
Bondarenko recovered from his back injury and continued to compete. He was sixth in the Russian Championships on 2005 and was seventh on vault in the DTB World Cup in Stuttgart. He was sixth in the Russian Cup in the same year. In the 2007 Russian Cup, he won silver on vault and gold on high bar. Bondarenko was a member of the 2006 men's team in the World Championships. Bondarenko tried out for the 2008 Olympic team, but, like Yelena Zamolodchikova for the women, turned in "subpar" performances at the Olympic Trials and did not make the cut.

Famous quotes containing the word present:
“It took six weeks of debate in the Senate to get the Arms Embargo Law repealed—and we face other delays during the present session because most of the Members of the Congress are thinking in terms of next Autumn’s election. However, that is one of the prices that we who live in democracies have to pay. It is, however, worth paying, if all of us can avoid the type of government under which the unfortunate population of Germany and Russia must exist.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
