Kenneth Bednarek seems destined to always win the silver medal. In Paris at the
2024 Olympic Games he had to give way to Letsile Tebogo (albeit running an Afican
record 19.46 seconds in first place) and at the Olympic Games 2020 (2021) it was
Andre de Grasse's
Canadian reord of 19.62 that was the 'problem'. In Eugene at the
2022 World Championships Noah Lyles blasted around in 19.31 (U.S. record time)
to thwart Kenneth.
Perhaps a relay Gold awaits him one day?
