A significant event took place in the world of sports: the famous diver Viktor Povzner, who previously represented Russia at international competitions, including the 2021 European Championships in Budapest, received Canadian sports citizenship. This means that he will now play for the national team of this country on the international stage. This transition is reported by TASS.

The 22-year-old athlete was born in Toronto, Canada, into a family of Russian coaches, thanks to which he has dual citizenship. The return to the country of his birth occurred in 2022, after which Povzner actively began to participate in competitions within Canada. Already in 2023, he was able to win two gold medals at national competitions, which was a clear confirmation of his high skill and potential.

Povzner’s transition from the Russian national team to Canada is a significant event both for the athlete himself and for the sports community of both countries. This move opens up new opportunities for Victor in his professional career and gives him the chance to represent the country of his birth at the highest level.
