Months after falling short of claiming the Olympic 200m gold medal in Paris, American speedster Kenny Bednarek has finally opened up on his feelings finishing behind Botswana's sprint hero Letsile Tebogo.
Bednarek won his second consecutive Olympic silver medal (his first at the Tokyo Olympics) as Tebogo blazed to Africa's first gold medal in the men's 200m event, clocking an African Record of 19.46s.
However, he capped off his season nicely with a revenge victory in the Diamond League final in Brussels to win his second title in three years.
Speaking on his bounce back and successful revenge in a new episode released on his YouTube channel titled Vengeance, Bednarek recapped his Paris emotions and 19.67s win in the 2024 Diamond League Final where he defeated the Olympic 200m Champion.
"I was upset because I didn't get the gold and this is the second time I've been snubbed of the gold medal at the Olympics," recounted the two-time Olympic silver medallist.
