Kenny Bednarek's practice teammate, Twanisha Terry, revealed an unheard blunder the former made during a Diamond League event. These athletes are associated with Star Athletics to prepare for the upcoming track season.

Bednarek concluded the 2024 track season after competing at the Diamond League Final in Brussels in the 200m dash, and claimed a gold medal, clocking a time of 19.67s. Now, the athlete is gearing up for the 2025 track season by training with the Star Athletics.

Bednarek trains with several other athletes including Kyree King, Twanisha Terry, Tonea Marshall and Christian Coleman. These athletes joined Tiara Williams in a fun session, where they allotted titles among themselves. They gave Marshall and Terry King the title of 'best dressed and 'makes us laugh,' respectively.

During this session, Terry revealed a hilarious blunder by Kenny Bednarek. He said that at the Diamond League in Zurich, Bednarek was so late that he did not even carry his uniform.

"Let me tell you about Kenny. My first year in Star Athletics, we went to the Diamond League Final in Zurich. Kenny runs back panicking; I'm like, 'Kenny, what's going on? what's wrong?' This boy forgot his whole uniform and is going back in the check-in room. No uniform. Not just forgotten his bag, the uniform is at the hotel. Uniform might have been in the United States. He didn't even have the uniform," Terry said.

In 2024, Kenny Bednarek also competed at the Paris Olympics, where he won a silver medal in the 200m, clocking 19.62s.
