He finished fourth in the 200 m at the 2006 World Junior Championships setting his personal best at 21.17 seconds.^[2] He also competed at the 2008 World Indoor Championships and the 2008 Olympic Games without reaching the final.^[3]

Bodrov is trained by his parents Valery Bodrov and Nadya Bodrova, both being former international runners. Nadya competed in two Olympics, coached by her husband. Hence Bodrov literally grew up on the stadium and can not recall when he started training. He graduated in coaching from the Kharkiv State Academy of Physical Culture and in law from the Sumy State University.^[1]
