Keeping up with off-season activities: Olympic star Kenny Bednarek enjoys 'baecation' with Indian girlfriend in Bali
Paris Olympics medallist Kenny Bednarek and his Indian girlfriend Sharmila Nicollet are currently enjoying their off-season by going on a romantic vacation in Bali, Indonesia.
The American track star had an exceptional 2024 season by becoming an Olympic 100m finalist and 200m silver medallist in Paris, before capping off his season with the Diamond League 200m title in a personal best time of 19.57s.
While Bednarek is a renowned sprinter, his girlfriend Nicollet is also an accomplished sportsperson. She is a professional golfer who has bagged numerous WGAI (Women’s Golf Association of India) titles and represented India in several tournaments.
Showcasing her excellence in golf, Nicollet is also the youngest to ever qualify and compete in the Ladies European Tour, when she was 18. Apart from golf, she is also a swimming prodigy, clinching close to 72 medals at the sub-junior level.
As part of their vacation activities, the romantic pair visited Bali, as Bednarek's shared lovely pictures on his X page.
"Jungles, waterfalls, sunsets and culture. Bali is always a good idea," he wrote as his caption.
