May 4, 2025
Miami, Florida
Kenny Bednarek is having a tremendous season! He won the 100m and
200m in Kingston.
In Miami, on Saturday, Kenny Bednarek had a wind-aided 9.79, with Oblique Seville in 9.84, Ackeem Blake was third in 9.85, Zharnel Hughes, 9.87.
In Miami, on Sunday, in the final event, Kenny Bednarek blazed the furlong in 19.84, a world leader! Zharnel Hughes was second in 20.13 SB, and Oblique Seville was third in 20.13, PB. Andre De Grasse, Canada's most medaled Olympian, ran 20.23 in 4th.
Kenny Bednarek, known as Kung Fu Kenny on social media, is a hugely popular athlete. This writer had the luck of catching up with Kenny at the US Nationals. What a nice guy!
Kenny's wins in Miami were well recieved, and now the young sprinter, from small town Wisconsin, takes $100,000 home for the second time on a second Grand Slam meet.
Kenny is an exciting competitor, and it was smart for GSM Miami that it ended with the Men's shot sprints, and the 200 meters was a perfect way to end the second Grand Slam meeting!
