US sprinter Kenny Bednarek's silver medal win in the men's 200m event at the Stade de France was a moment of immense pride for his mother, Mary. Decked out in a 'Kung Fu Kenny' t-shirt, Mary was overwhelmed with emotion after witnessing her son's achievement, which came three years after he had previously won silver in Tokyo.
Expressing her joy and pride, Mary shared, 'I feel so overwhelmed right now! He's worked so hard, I'm going to start crying. He's had his disappointments, but I just knew he had it in him for this. The smile on his face said it all. He's one in a million, and I'm so lucky that he's my son, and his twin brother too.'
