American sprinter Kenny Bednarek has sent a strong warning to his track rivals after promising more at the 2025 World Championships after clocking a personal best at the US trials.
Olympics 200m silver medalist Kenny Bednarek has once again expressed his confidence of flooring his rivals at the 2025 World Championships.
Bednarek made a statement of intent, when he clocked 9.79 seconds to win the 100m at the US National Championships on Friday night, ahead of Courtney Lindsey (9.82) T’Mars McCallum (9.83) and Trayvon Bromell (9.84) who finished in second, third and fourth places respectively.
It was both his season’s and personal best over the distance and Bednarek, who has been in great form this season, says that was not even his best as he is capable of producing much more.
