This is a Sandy Boy Productions podcast.

Hey everybody, welcome to all have another podcast with Lindsay Hine. I am your host, Lindsay.

Thanks so much for joining us today. I am so excited to bring a track athlete to the podcast, two-time

Olympic silver medalist and world championship silver medalist Kenny Bednarik joins the show today.

He won silver in the 200 in the Tokyo Olympics,

the Paris Olympics, and the 2022 World Championships. He's also a 10-time Diamond League

champion. He runs for Nike. And if you watch the Sprint documentary, you would have seen him.

They highlighted him in season two, which was really

cool to see. He's an adoption advocate from Wisconsin. He actually ran at a community college.

He ran for Indian Hills Community College. So we talked about that trajectory a bit. And listen,

my kids were more excited about this interview than most interviews

I do because the sprinters are more exciting to them than the long distance runner. So I made

sure to get a couple questions in from them, which I thought was fun. And we got to talk a little bit about football because Kenny also used to play football.

Fun fact, his senior year of high school, his high school team won both a state championship

in track and field and in football.

Kenny is participating in the Grand Slam series as a racer, the series that Michael Johnson's team is putting on,

really exciting. They are gearing up to have that first competition, the Kingston Slam, April 4th

through 6th, and those will be once a month through June. So we've got the Kingston Slam, the Miami Slam,

the Philadelphia Slam, and the LA slam.

So he's one of 96 athletes competing in this.

It's going to be really exciting and fun to see how this brings more exposure and excitement

to the sport of track and field.
