Tyreek Hill takes a dig at Noah Lyles for narrowly beating YouTuber IShowSpeed in 50m dash

MIAMI, FLORIDA: NFL player Tyreek Hill made a cruel remark after Olympic track champion Noah Lyles narrowly beat YouTuber IShowSpeed in a track race, shocking the online fans.

After the 'World's Fastest Man Alive' was barely able to beat IShowSpeed, NFL speedster Hill—who has previously engaged in heated disputes with Lyles—took advantage of the situation to make fun of the world champion.

Tyreek Hill disparages Noah Lyles after close race with IShowSpeed

Olympic champion Noah Lyles competed against the young social media celebrity in a 50-meter race for a $100,000 cash reward. Fans were shocked when Lyles barely defeated IShowSpeed, despite emerging victorious in the 100-meter race at the Paris Olympics.

Lyles, 27, and the 19-year-old, whose real name is Darren Watkins Jr, were close when they crossed the finish line and even declared a tie, per UNILAD.

There was a moment when Speed gained the lead, but Lyles drew ahead and took the victory. Lyles said he doesn't "do rematches" after Speed asked for a "rematch" and vowed to donate the $100,000 to a good cause.

While Speed was anticipated to put up a strong performance despite his exceptional agility, no one envisioned Lyles eking out a victory.

However, the Miami Dolphins wide receiver, 30, made fun of Lyles on X (formerly Twitter) smirking at the track star's prior confidence in taking on him. He thought it was funny that the 'World’s Fastest Man Alive' barely beat an amateur.

The former track and field star wrote, "And track athletes think he gone beat me," followed by crying-laughing emojis.

Lyles did not take long to reply, cheekily hitting back, "Awww feeling left out. I’ll dance across the line on you too," followed by a winking face emoji.

One of the world's fastest men, the American sprinter is striving to overtake Usain Bolt, who still holds the record with an amazing speed of 9.58 for the 100 meters in 2009, per Sport Bible.

Tyreek Hill and Noah Lyles are in long-standing feud

Speaking about Noah Lyles' Olympic gold triumph in August, Tyreek Hill said he could easily defeat him in a race. The NFL star said to sportscaster Kay Adams, "I wouldn't beat him by a lot, but I would beat Noah Lyles."

Lyles responded by telling David K Li of NBC News that he would be willing to race Hill, but only if it was "legit because he's 'not here to do gimmicks'."

Lyles said on Hill: "I mean, 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."

"You're racing against a guy who has worked his whole life to get the title of 'the world's fastest man,' and you've worked to be a great football player. You can't just jump the line because you're a great football player," he added.

During his appearance on the 'Nightcap Show', Lyles exposed Hill as a clout chaser who challenges all fast runners but never shows up for a race.

Lyles stated that he would be more than willing to accept Hill's challenge if he was sincere. "If he’s serious about it, not just talking on the internet … if you’re serious about it, you’ll see me on track," he remarked.

In response to this, the Dolphins star urged Lyles to sign the contract and keep his word. "Sign the contract and lock in that 50-yard race…" Hill fired back, per The SportsRush.

Although the challenge never materialized, Hill's response to Speed racing Lyles is the most recent development in their feud.

One shocked X user said, "Oh nah imagine running ur whole life and speed almost beats u."

Another user criticized Lyles by saying, "Noah is the flash man, he even mocked speed mid race If he took it completely serious, he would’ve smoked speed even more Nonetheless speed is exceptionally fast."

"Bro thought Speed was far back behind him but nah he was besides him," chimed in one.

Another remarked, "Noah would of smoked him if he didn’t start mocking him, still speed could’ve been an insane athlete."

"Speed really almost beat olympic gold medalist Noah Lyles," wrote one.
