Noah Lyles clapped back at Tyreek Hill after the Dolphins wide receiver took a dig at the Olympic Champion for winning the race against popular streamer, IShowSpeed by a very close margin. Lyles competed against IShowSpeed in a 50m race after the streamer challenged him, and the race was hosted by Mr Beast who put $100,000 on the line for the winner.

The race went viral in no time as fans were impressed by the streamer's racing ability as the race ended in a very close finish. As soon as the race was over, IShowSpeed claimed that it was a 'tie'. However, as they reviewed the race footage, Lyles came out to be a clear winner.

Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill who has been going back and forth in the media with Noah Lyles ever since the Paris Olympics, reacted to the race and said:

" And track athletes think he gone beat me 😂😂😂."

Noah Lyles took to X to react to Hill's comments and subtly expressed his dominance on track by claiming to 'dance' across the finish line in a head-to-head battle.

"Awww feeling left out. I’ll dance across the line on you too 😉," he wrote.

The back and forth between Noah Lyles and Tyreek Hill began after the Olympic Champion's comments on NBA Champions calling themselves 'World Champions' resurfaced online during the Paris Olympics after his gold medal victory in the men's 100m.

After the conclusion of the Paris Olympics, Tyreek Hill spoke about Lyles' comments and claimed to defeat the Olympic Champion in a race.

“Noah Lyles can't say nothing after what just happened to him. You know what I'm saying? Then he want to come out and pretend like he's sick. I feel like that's like horseradish. So, for him to do that and say that we're not world champions of like our sport, like come on, bro, just speak on what you know about, you know what I'm saying? And that's track. I would beat Lyles. No, I wouldn't beat him by a lot, but I would beat Lyles,” he said.

Since then, the two athletes have gone to and fro on the media fueling anticipation among fans for a head-to-head battle on the track. According to reports by Ad Age, Lyles, and Hill will be competing against each other in 2025 as a part of a knockout tournament featuring races between Olympic track athletes and professional athletes of other sports.
