Noah Lyles has confronted a difficult week within the media, particularly after successful bronze within the males’s 200m on the 2024 Paris Olympics and attributing his lack of the gold (and silver) to contracting COVID-19. (Many discovered this unconvincing.) One in all his critics is NFL vast receiver Tyreek Hill, who didn’t maintain again on his opinion of Lyles’ skills, confidently stating that he may beat the brand new Olympic 100m champion in a race.
Throughout a pre-season interview on YouTube’s Up and Adams Present, Hill shared his ideas on Lyles: “Noah Lyles can’t say something after what simply occurred to him. For him to lose like that and nonetheless say we’re not world champions in our sport? Come on, bruh. Simply persist with what , and that’s observe.”

Hill went on to say he would beat Lyles in a race (though he didn’t specify the space). “I wouldn’t beat him by rather a lot, however I’d beat Noah Lyles.”
Hill, who goes by the nickname “Cheetah,” is famend for being one of many quickest gamers in skilled soccer. Whereas his focus has been on soccer for many of his life, he comes from a observe and area background. Hill represented Crew USA on the 2012 World Junior Championships in Barcelona, successful gold within the males’s 4x100m relay and bronze within the 200m (20.54).

Though Hill hasn’t made a return to trace and area since, he did race over 60 metres on the 2023 USATF Masters Indoor Championships, clocking 6.70 seconds. His time ranked him 213th on this planet for the lads’s 60m occasion final 12 months. In distinction, Lyles gained a world championship silver medal within the 60m on the 2024 World Indoor Championships in Glasgow, with a time of 6.44 seconds—trailing solely American Christian Coleman, the world report holder within the 60m occasion.
Hill has admitted in a number of interviews that he doesn’t plan to return to trace anytime quickly, making a showdown with Lyles unlikely. Even so, the numbers converse for themselves: Lyles’ 100m successful time of 9.79 seconds in Paris is half a second sooner than Hill’s private better of 10.19 seconds. Whereas Hill’s occasions are spectacular for somebody not competing professionally, the probability of him beating Lyles and not using a few years of targeted coaching appears slim.
