Kolkata: Kenny Bednarek, the world's second-fastest 200m sprinter, is on a mission to rewrite history at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. As an event ambassador for the Tata Steel World 25K, he's not only focused on winning gold but also breaking records. The American sprinter, who won silver at the 2020 and 2024 Olympics, wants to shave off precious seconds from his timing.
