Miami Dolphins star Tyreek Hill has once again questioned Olympic champion Noah Lyles’ credentials as the world’s fastest man following Lyles’ recent victory at the New Balance Grand Prix on February 2.
The ongoing rivalry between the two speedsters, which was at its peak in 2024, has been reignited after Lyles’ latest performance in Boston.
The reigning 100m and 200m world champion comfortably won the 60m sprint at the prestigious indoor event, clocking a time of 6.52 seconds.

NFL superstar Tyreek Hill claps back at Noah Lyles after provocative post race message.
Hill quickly responded to Lyles’ claim, questioning his legitimacy as the fastest man in the world. He took to X (formerly Twitter), sarcastically asking, “Who gave you that title? Your Wikipedia page?”
While Lyles is the reigning world and Olympic champion, his title as the fastest man alive has been subject to debate.
Despite his accolades, he has not recorded the fastest time over 100m. That distinction belongs to his Jamaican rival, Kishane Thompson, who clocked an impressive 9.77 seconds at the 2024 Jamaican Olympic Trials.

After a convincing victory at the New Balance Indoor Grand Prix, Noah Lyles had just one person worth celebrating for his success.
During the 2024 Paris Olympics, Thompson and Lyles both ran 9.79 seconds in the final.
Thompson has also made waves in indoor sprinting, recently making his debut with a time of 6.56 seconds, following his impressive 6.48 at the Central Hurdles Relays and Field meet.
His performances add another layer to the discussion of who truly deserves the title of the fastest man.

Whether or not the two will finally settle the debate on the track remains to be seen, but for now, their rivalry continues to captivate fans of both athletics and football.
