      The author shows the compatibility of two definitions of generalized curvature bounds: the lower bound for sectional curvature in the sense of Alexandrov and the lower bound for Ricci curvature in the sense of Lott-Villani-Sturm, see [\textit{J. Lott} and \textit{C. Villani}, ``Ricci curvature for metric-measure spaces via optimal transport'', Ann. Math. (2) 169, No. 3, 903--991 (2009; Zbl 1178.53038)].
