Home/Track & Field

Noah Lyles and IShowSpeed took the track and field community by quite the storm when they went against each other in a 50m contest. While Noah obviously emerged as the winner in that race, many felt that it was closer than they were expecting it to be. This has made IShowSpeed confident that if he races Noah again, he might emerge victorious this time. But Noah now seems all set to take part in the much-awaited race against Tyreek Hill. Thus, the streamer will have to wait for his turn. But when he was asked for his thoughts about the race in a recent podcast, he didn’t hold back.

In his appearance at the Club Shay Shay YouTube channel, IShowSpeed was asked about what he thinks would be the outcome of the possibly upcoming race between Noah Lyles and Tyreek Hill. The streamer believed that the Olympic gold medalist and the NFL player would have quite a close race if it was a 40-meter dash.

“40 yards close. Because Noah is not fast when he likes… He gotta get out of the block. When it first starts, he’s slow as s***,” he said. While IShowSpeed knows that Noah is the fastest man in 100m, the runner is a slow starter according to him, which gives Tyreek an advantage in a 40m dash. “It’ll be close. I’d say I probably got Tyreek. Do we know your distance yet? Is it 40, 50, or 60 meters? 40, I got Tyreek. 50 and up, Noah,” said the streamer.

After that, podcast host Shannon Sharpe asked him whether he would like to race the winner. He replied in the affirmative, saying, “Hell yeah. I’m the final boss. I’m the final boss.” Speed then also went on to say that while he has faced Noah Lyles, Tyreek Hill looks to be quite afraid to battle him.

Thus, he gave the NFL player a proposition. He said, “Tyreek, all you have to decide. Put your career on the line. Put your contract on… Put your contract… Put everything on your line. Put your life on the line. Race me 40 yards. 40 yards.” While the streamer told him to take as much time as he needed to train, he’s confident that Tyreek wouldn’t race him. This is because it is quite risky for the “Cheetah” to be seen losing against IShowSpeed before he faces Noah Lyles. However, it seems like Speed is ready to race whoever wins, showing his dedication to the craft.

What’s your perspective on:

Can Tyreek Hill's explosive start outpace Noah Lyles' Olympic speed in a 40-yard dash?

He replied, “Awww, feeling left out.

Tyreek, you gotta get through me first.” All of this talk has raised the anticipation levels of the race, as fans now can’t wait for both athletes to finally face off and try to get better off each other.

Noah Lyles recently talked about the format of the race in an NBC interview, saying that he’s only interested in 100-meter races. He said, “If somebody wants to sponsor the event and we’re racing for millions of dollars and it’s on a track and we’re running 100 meters, then sure, we can race.” Thus, while the race has been confirmed, the specifications still need to be sorted out. Hopefully, both of them give fans an entertaining race.
