Kenny Bednarek missed out on taking home another medal during the 2024 Paris Olympics. He and his relay team took seventh in the 4x100 meter relay after a rough baton pass. The team consisted of Bednarek, Christian Coleman, Kyree King, and Fred Kerley.
Noah Lyles had to drop out of the relay team because of a COVID 19 diagnosis. The quartet only managed to beat the Chinese team in the race. On Thursday, Bednarek took home a silver medal in the 200m track final.
He finished his race in 19.62 seconds, coming in just behind Botswana's Letsile Tobogo. “I cried, I was overwhelmed,” said Kenny's mother Mary Ann Bednarek.
“It was beautiful. I’m so proud of him. Momma Mary answered a lot of prayers.
Yesterday, after the semis he left with a big smile on his face, so that was good.” Bednarek previously grabbed the silver medal in the 200-meter during the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. See all of our coverage of the 2024 Paris Olymics .
