Bednarek is Thrilled to Participate in the 10th Tata Steel World 25K 2025

News Desk, News Nation 360 : The International Event Ambassador for the Tata Steel World 25K Kolkata, Olympic silver medallist and American sprint star Kenny Bednarek, said he is thrilled to be a part of India's top distance running competition and that international competitions like this are vital in encouraging people to make fitness a way of life. One of the top sprinters in the world, Kenny Bednarek, won two silver medals in the men's 200 meters at the Olympics in Tokyo 2020 and Paris 2024. He also won a silver medal at the World Championships. He continues to lead American sprinting on the international scene and is a reliable Diamond League competitor with a personal best time of 19.49 seconds. Speaking about what it takes to perform at the elite level, Bednarek underlined the importance of mindset over everything else. He stated that even if one is highly skilled and

physically prepared, it won't matter if one lacks mental toughness on race day. Nearly 90% of sprinting requires mental discipline, accountability, faith, and recuperation to continually execute at the highest level. Every year, he pushes himself to improve and learn new things. Even when he succeeds, he questions his team and myself what they can do better. There is only development and no such thing as perfection. American running has a long history of success. Although Usain Bolt was in a class of his own, the USA is currently doing very well. The upcoming years will be crucial for them because of the upcoming big championships and the upcoming Olympics at home. There is a lot of talent in India. Athletes from this region can succeed on the international scene with the correct coaching, training regimen, and recuperation techniques. Whether it's through engagement, mentoring, or exchanging experiences, he is always willing to make a significant contribution. Sport can transform lives, and he would be honoured to be a part of that journey in India.
