Olympic silver medalist Kenny Bednarek still remains devastated by his loss in the men's 100m final in Paris despite redemption in the 200m race.
Olympic silver medalist Kenny Bednarek is grappling with mixed emotions following his performance at the Paris Olympics.
While he successfully clinched silver in the men’s 200m final, losing out on the 100m final remains a bitter pill to swallow for the sprinter.
An underwhelming performance in his semi-final heat in the 100m saw Bednarek finish fourth behind Botswana’s Letsile Tebogo, South Africa’s Akani Simbine, and former Olympic champion Lamont Jacobs.
His woes would continue to the final where he underwhelmingly placed seventh with a time of 9.88 seconds.
Watching his American teammates Noah Lyles and Fred Kerley take center stage in the final, both with podium finishes added to the sting.
