FLORIDA — Americans Kenny Bednarek and Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone each smashed their way to a second straight Grand Slam Track title on May 4, as the novel circuit wrapped up its Miami meet in front of an enthusiastic crowd.
The Michael Johnson-fronted start-up lured top talent with big prize money and after facing criticism over poor attendance at its inaugural Kingston meet in Jamaica, the fans turned up at Ansin Sports Complex for the second of four meets set for 2025.
Bednarek, who won the 100 metres in a wind-aided 9.79 seconds on May 3, clinched the men's short sprints group the following day when he broke the tape in the 200m in 19.84sec, nearly three-tenths of a second ahead of Briton Zharnel Hughes.
