On May 17, 2019, running as a freshman for Indian Hills Community College in Ottumwa, Iowa at the age of 20, he ran the fourth fastest 200 meters of all time, under any conditions, running 19.49 at altitude with an exceptionally strong 6.1 mps aiding wind in the semi-finals of the NJCAA National Championships in Hobbs, New Mexico. The following day, Bednarek proved his speed by running 19.82 into a -0.8 headwind and running a 44.73 400 meters on the same day, becoming the NJCAA national champion in both events. 19.82 displaced Olympic gold medalist Tommie Smith's former world record for the #30 fastest legal race of all time. Six men have run faster into a negative wind, but -0.9 is the strongest hindering wind against any athlete to break 19.95.[5]
Only one other person, BotswananIsaac Makwala, has ever run sub-20 and sub-45 in the same day. Makwala was 28 when he did that in Madrid on July 6, 2014, making Bednarek the youngest athlete and only American athlete to pull off the feat.[6][7]
Early life
Born in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Kenny and his fraternal twin brother, Ian, were adopted by Mary Bednarek and moved to Rice Lake, Wisconsin. Both brothers took to running youth track starting in the second grade. Running for Rice Lake High School, Kenny won seven individual state titles and led his team to a 4×400 relay championship. His 20.43 was the number one high school 200-meter time in the nation in 2018.
He also played football at Rice Lake, scoring 17 touchdowns as a wide receiver, kick returner and on jet sweeps during his junior and senior years, recorded on videos posted on the recruiting website hudl.com.[8] He also starred as a gunner on special teams. During his senior year, his Rice Lake Warriors teams won state championships in both track and football. Bednarek holds Wisconsin all-class records for 200 and 400 meters and the Division 2 record for 100 meters.[9]
Junior college
Bednarek did not qualify academically for a major four-year university, so he enrolled at Indian Hills Community College in Ottumwa, Iowa. He said, "I had a goal to go to university after JUCO, but obviously God (had) a different plan."[10]
At Indian Hills, Bednarek ran the fastest indoor 200m in the US, the #2 time in the world for the indoor season, which ranks him tied as the #13 individual on the all time indoor list.[11]
For his achievement, Bednarek was named the "USATF Athlete of the Week" on May 22, 2019.[12]
Professional career
In July 2019, he left Indian Hills and signed a pro contract with Nike and began training in Florida with former world champion sprinter and Olympic medalist Justin Gatlin. “It wasn’t my decision," he said. "But you know Nike wanted to send me somewhere so I just kind of listened. So you know, they know what they’re doing. It’s all you know just going to trust the process.”[10]
He said that he came out of high school as a 400-meter specialist but transitioned successfully into the 200-meters. "So I kind of want to continue that, maybe in the years to come try to do the 100, but yeah I think the 200 is my main event right now,” he said in July 2019.[10]
At the 2019 USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships, Bednarek qualified for the 200 meters final. In the final, he pulled up with a hamstring injury but jogged across the finish line. Later in the season, winner Noah Lyles won the 2019 IAAF Diamond League 200m title, entitling him to a wild card to the 2019 World Athletics Championships. USA was thus allowed an additional entry. By virtue of Bednarek being the fourth person to cross the finish line at the National Championships with a qualifying time, he was given the position into the World Championships. Weeks after his injury, Bednarek was only able to muster a non-qualifying 21.50 in his heat due to a nerve flare up.
On August 10, 2020, in the COVID-19 abbreviated season, Bednarek ran a world leading 19.80 (+1.0) at the Star Athletics Sprint Showcase in Montverde, Florida.[13] The time moved him up to a tie for the #25 mark of all time.
On August 4, 2021, Bednarek won the silver medal at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics in the 200-meter men's final with a time of 19.68 seconds.[14]
On Sept. 9, 2021, Bednarek clinched the Diamond League 200 meter title at the Weltklasse in Zürich, winning with a time of 19.70s.[15]
During 2021, Bednarek ran the most sub-20 performances over 200 meters, both for wind-legal conditions and all conditions, of any athlete in a single season, with 12 total sub-20 performances, of which 10 were wind-legal. He ended the season ranked No. 1 in the 200 meters by World Athletics.[16]
On July 21, 2022 in Eugene, Ore., Bednarek took silver in the 200 meters at the 2022 World Athletics Championships with a time of 19.77. Noah Lyles, whom he had defeated in Tokyo, set an American record of 19.31 in the race.[4]
In 2024, Bednarek qualified for the Olympic team by placing 2nd at the Olympic trials in the 100m and 200m. Noah Lyles won both races. In the 200m, both Lyles and Bednarek went under Michael Johnson's 1996 meet record of 19.66. Lyles edged Bednarek, running 19.53 to Bednarek's 19.59, a personal record.[17] While Bednarek had made the last 3 World Championship or Olympic teams in the 200m, this was the first time he had made a 100m global team. Bednarek also ran a personal best of 9.87 in the 100m final.[16] At the Paris Olympics, Bednarek qualified for the 100m final, where he placed 7th in a time of 9.88.[18] Bednarek also qualified for the 200m final, by winning his semi-final in 20.00s. In the final he won the silver medal in a time of 19.62, finishing behind Letsile Tebogo.[19]
Personal life
Bednarek's nickname is "Kung Fu Kenny" because he wears a Rambo-like tie around his head in races.[20]

Mrs Warren's Profession (publicada en español como La profesión de la Señora Warren y Trata de blancas) es una obra de teatro escrita por George Bernard Shaw en 1893. Shaw dijo que había escrito la obra para llamar la atención sobre la verdad de que la prostitución es causada, no por depravación femenina y libertinaje masculino, sino simplemente por el falta de recursos, autoestima y sustento que reciben tan vergonzosamente las mujeres que las más pobres de ellas se ven obligadas a re...
