Kenny Bednarek was simply a class above in the men’s 100 meters at the LA Grand Prix 2026.
Overcoming a slightly sluggish start, the 27-year-old athletics star hit his stride and never looked, breaking clear of his nearest rivals to take the win in a time of 9.72 seconds (-2.4m/s).
Four-time world champion Christian Coleman finished second in a time of 9.84 seconds, followed closely by Ghana’s Abdul-Rasheed Saminu at 9.88 seconds.
Motswana Olympic champion Letsile Tebogo wasn’t able to match Bednarek’s top-end speed under the toasty California sun, finishing the day fifth in 9.95 seconds.
