Already a World and Olympic silver medallist, US sprinter Kenny Bednarek is ready to make even more history on the track.
Bednarek – who was adopted by his Polish mother at age four – shares how he first got involved in the sport, the challenges he faced during his junior years and then deciding to turn professional.
The US sprinter reveals why the delay to the Tokyo Olympic Games helped the US sprinter and what motivates him as he goes in pursuit of becoming the best in the world and the fastest of all-time.
The Diamond League champion has become known for his trademark headband and tells Sportshour’s Adam Samuel how he earned the nickname ‘Kung Fu Kenny’.
