First four Grand Slam Track champions crowned in Kingston
The Island
|April 07, 2025
Four champions - Matthew Hudson-Smith, Gabby Thomas, Kenny Bednarek and Diribe Welteji - were crowned on Saturday (5), the second evening of the Kingston Grand Slam Track leg in Jamaica.
-
Kenny Bednarek, having conquered the 100m field the previous evening, was more at ease competing in his specialty, the 200m, in the 'short sprint' category. The two-time Olympic silver medallist ran a blinding curve, which gave him a comfortable lead entering the straight. He pulled away even further to burst the tape in 20.07 (+0.2m/s). Britain's Zharnel Hughes was runner-up in a season's best of 20.37, which saw him finish second overall in the men's short sprint category.
Great Britain's Hudson-Smith ran a storming home straight to overhaul Trinidadian Jereem Richards a few metres from the finish line to take the 200m in the men's 'long sprint' category and US$100,000 prize money in 20.77 (-3.3m/s).
