The 200 Meters Just Got DESTROYED! || 2024 Diamond League Doha

[@wilhelmw3455]

Kung fu Kenny Bednarek attracts a lot less attention than many other sprinters but could possibly be the most successful male USA sprinter at the Paris Olympics this year.

[@drkylefreeman]

He’s looking lean and mean this year, I’m impressed!

[@sub2me543]

Bc he’s a shy dude I can tell he probably dates white girls. Nothing wrong with that btw

The US Olympic trials is gonna be crazy

[@CollingAshford]

I really wonder who is going to be out of the US men’s 200m team this year? Since The Olympic Years *only 3 athletes* gets in the team. Not 4. There’s no *Buy* in Olympics years. And if Courtney Lindsey gets in the US 200m team this year, who is he taking out? Well, we all know that he’s not beating Noah Lyles in the 200m. Obviously.

[@RANDOMZBOSSMAN1]

Someone is going to be *very* disappointed lol You gotta understand why Fahnbulleh decided to say F this 3 years ago and went to represent Liberia lol

[@CollingAshford]

⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@RANDOMZBOSSMAN1Yeah. Fahnbulleh did the right choice to represent Liberia, Lol.

[@chrismaudsley934]

Aside from anything, it means at least 1 from Lyles, Knighton, Lindsay and Bednarek will miss out on the men's 200m team...😲😲

[@FatimaYamala]

The US trials is probably the Olympics decider 😅

[@AllInTheGame01]

Kenny B & Dos Santos aren't messing around this yr! Kenny to make the US 100/200/4x100m Olympic Teams?!

[@robinbauer1975]

I mean dos santos is the future of 400mH he is litterly built for the event. What do you all think are his chances beating Warholm in Paris

[@Jaedub86]

@@robinbauer1975the same as his chances were beating him at World Championships 2022. Anything is possible it’s a.) a hurdle event, and b.) it’s a 4 man conversation for the top spot. Now we have 4 possibilities for 3 medals US-BZ-NW-BVI any of the 4 could take the top spot but someone is getting disappointed this year and that will be the real story for the 400mh. Who do we think that will be?

[@Jaedub86]

Now I hope Kenny makes the team for all 3. If not the 100 he could at least push for the mixed 4x400m. If He could out run Boling or Patterson and get places on that team he would have a guaranteed Gold.

[@Elliottklassen]

There were many great performances at this meet: Bednarek’s 200m PB, Mcleod’s 8.52m long jump (and Tentouglou and Ehammer jumping 8.3), Ceh throwing over 70m, the men’s javelin was a good competition between the top 3, and Dos Santos with his phenomenal 46.8. I don’t tend to have high expectations for diamond leagues still this early in the season, but this really was a treat!

[@MichaelJohnson-wk8tk]

The US men's 200 trials for Paris are going to be crazy!

[@CollingAshford]

Noah’s 19.31, Erryion’s 19.49, Kenny’s 19.67(New PB), and Courtney’s 19.71. And only 3 athletes gets into the US 200m team, since it’s the Olympic Year. We know Noah, gets number 1 in the US Olympic Trials easily, but for 2nd and 3rd place, it’s pretty much a fight between Kenny, Erryion and Courtney.

[@TheRealLastJedi721]

Kenny always shown us that he can be that guy idk why he’s so quiet in convos for things but this year he could cause major upsets

[@AJSmithtwins]

I think Kenny B has more in the tank. He looked strong down the finish. It's odd to see a world class sprinter stumble the way he did. Simple fix though. Happy for him!

[@TotalRunningProductions]

If anything it shows me that he's ready to go faster. Just a small patch up and he could already save a good chunk of time. Combine that with steady improvements in the Olympics and he's competing for gold

[@BlueHopi144]

he saw that too ....got more in the tank ...not at full speed down the line

[@buffalosoldier7360]

I disagree that this race brought a “new” name forward…Kenny has been right there all along…ups and downs, sure, it’s part of being human. Kenny has been my favorite American male runner (Sydney!) with Noah, Michael Norman and Christian Coleman. How can you not like everything about Kenny. Consistency and honorable, this is a really good dude. I just hope he’s able to monetize his efforts.

[@TheGreatness-gg1jx]

I think he just did monetize this one. Don't they get extra money for MRs? He's gonna have to medal to get paid. If he can double medal he'll really stand out.

Kenny B's issue is his arm swing when he gets tired. He starts rotating like a wheel instead of continuing the pump action. He's been doing that for a while now. No idea why his coach hasn't fixed that.

In drag racing. The 1/8 mile basically 2/3ish of the time expected in 1/4. I think a 125 meter race would be the perfect balance for “fastest man alive” to see where the discipline of 60, 100, 200 could actually compete against each other.

@@Trackreator But before Kenny Bednarek runs the 200m Final in Paris, he needs to get in the USA Team, which is extremely difficult to get to. Cuz he has to deal with Erryion Knighton and now Courtney Lindsey. And if Courtney somehow gets into the USA 200m Team, who is Courtney going to take out?

[@Trackreator]

@@CollingAshford well there are three places, if everything goes by how it looks now Kenny is the favourite and if Courtney first Kenny second and if Lyles first or second, Kenny still third. Fahnbulleh is Liberian, de Grasse is Canadian and Kyree King ain’t catching Kenny. So most probably Kenny is going to Paris. Then considering the final like the three American (still if they not get injured or disqualified or worse banned) plus de Grasse, Fahnbulleh, Tebogo and another, maybe Aaron Brown. So that Kenny still has a shot on bronze or even silver, and maybe who knows with the race of his life he could win. We don’t know we will see. But the fact that he can join the team is almost 100% sure. What about Knighton? I sincerely don't know!

@@duncanharvey2209Yes, the altitude made a big difference, but they also had a 1.5m/s headwind in his 19.71 race, which somewhat cancels out the altitude (but not fully).

[@duncanharvey2209]

@@AthleticsEditz Yeah I'm always a little off on wind. I remember racing with wind readings in either direction thinking "what"? And knowing it wasn't really what was indicated on the screen because it was either a cross wind or the person operating it simply started it at an inappropriate time. Even having a headwind as you leave the blocks and then "catch up" to a tailwind is possible. And then running the bend with a tailwind but registering as a head. It's so complex with light winds in a stadium that go all over the place. Even running in different lanes makes a difference in stadium swirls.

[@AthleticsEditz]

@@duncanharvey2209 Yeah, you’re right. The way in which the wind is measured means that there’s no way of knowing what the wind at different points of the race is like. That said, we can only go based off of what the reading says, which was -1.5 (or something like that) for Tebogo and Lindsey.
