Kenny Bednarek has always caused a stir on social media with his though-provoking queries, garnering attention from his millions of followers.
The American’s career has been on the ascendancy since turning pro six years ago. In July 2019, he left Indian Hills and signed a pro contract with Nike and began training in Florida with former world champion sprinter and Olympic medalist Justin Gatlin. “It wasn’t my decision,” he said at the time. “But you know Nike wanted to send me somewhere so I just kind of listened. So you know, they know what they’re doing. It’s all you know just going to trust the process.”
He said that he came out of high school as a 400-meter specialist but transitioned successfully into the 200-meters.

In 2024, Bednarek qualified for the Olympic team by placing second at the Olympic trials in the 100m and 200m. Noah Lyles won both races. In the 200m, both Lyles and Bednarek went under Michael Johnson’s 1996 meet record of 19.66. Lyles edged Bednarek, running 19.53 to Bednarek’s 19.59, a personal record.
While Bednarek had made the last 3 World Championship or Olympic teams in the 200m, this was the first time he had made a 100m global team. Bednarek also ran a personal best of 9.87 in the 100m final. At the Paris Olympics, Bednarek qualified for the 100m final, where he placed 7th in a time of 9.88
Now at his prime, the world is yet to see his best if his silver at the Olympics is anything to go by. With the World Championships the main highlight this year, could it be Kenny Bednarek’s time to shine and get off the shadows of Noah Lyles?.
