There were questions, there were assumptions, that could unfold what Kenny Bednarek and Noah Lyles would race in the finals of the 200m at the USATF Championship. And nobody would have thought what actually happened.

Noah Lyles was leading the 200m finals when he taunted Kenny Bednarek. As he crossed the finish line, Lyles looked back and gave a dead glare to Kenny in the lane very next to him and just behind him. Kenny’s reaction? He pushed the Olympic gold medalist out of the way. Now this has brought in heat from the fans toward the athlete, accusing him of not being a sportsman enough. A person commented, “Kenny was wrong for that.
