Two-time world and Olympic silver medalist in the 200m Kenneth Bednarek continued his winning streak in the Diamond League. After triumphing in Rabat at the end of last month, the American sprinter has started June with success. Kenny Bednarek won the Diamond League in Stockholm (Sweden) with a time of 19.87 sec (+1.0 m/s). South African Sinesipho Dambile finished second in 20.10 sec, and American Courtney Lindsey completed the top three with 20.24 sec.

However, the start was delayed for some time due to the disqualification of Jeremiah Azu and Timothe Mumenthaler, who eventually ran under protest.

The Top 5 in the event were completed by Reynier Mena (Cuba), clocking 20.53 sec and Mthi Mthimkulu (Republish of South Africa) with 20.78 sec.

In the women’s 100m, the three-time world sprint champion from 2025, Melissa Jefferson-Wooden (USA), won in 10.84 sec (+0.8 m/s). Britain’s Amy Hunt broke under 11 seconds for the first time in her career, finishing second with a personal best of 10.97 sec. Luxembourg star Patrizia van der Weken rounded out the top three with a time of 11.05 sec.
