Kenny Bednarek's Paris Olympics

We catch up with sprinter Kenny Bednarek and learn about his Paris 2024 experience running the 100m, 200m and 4x100m relay. He did bring home some hardware, but also had many learning experiences (and we're not just talking about dealing with the lack of A/C in Paris). We also look ahead to Kenny's 2025 season and how he's preparing for World Athletics' world championships.

 

Be sure to watch Kenny's documentary series Road to Gold on YouTube. Also check out his website and follow him on Insta and X.
