Letsile Tebogo and Kenny Bednarek face off at LA Grand Prix
In-form speedsters Letsile Tebogo and Kenny Bednarek are scheduled to race against each other for the first time this season at the LA Grand Prix.
Tebogo's first defeat of the season came against Courtney Lindsey via a faster reaction time, despite both clocking an identical 19.71s at the Kip Keino Classic.
The Botswana youngster kicked off his season with a 300m World Record, has been impeccable in the 400m with the fourth-fastest in the world this year at 44.26s, and played a vital role at the World Relays in helping his country win the men's 4x400m gold medal to qualify for the Olympics.

Meanwhile, Lindsey is also in his best career form after defeating Tebogo and then losing to Bednarek in Doha. He will be looking forward to prove that his early season form is no fluke by aiming for another famous win against the big names.
And Erriyon Knighton will make the star-studded more mouthwatering as he has all it takes to also challenge for the win, having a PB of 19.40s - the fourth-fastest time in history.

Interestingly, the other names that complete the list are also widely talented and can cause an upset. They are Canada's Aaron Brown, USA's Kyree King, fast-finishing Liberia's Joseph Fahnbulleh, USA's Jeremiah Curry, and Dominica's Alexander Ogando.
