How powerful is the word “Olympics”? Powerful enough to make people suddenly care about sports they wouldn’t normally watch if their remote got stuck on the channel. Every four years, track and field goes from ‘Wait, that’s still a thing?’ to the main event—only to be ghosted the moment the torch goes out. Noah Lyles, fresh off his 2024 Olympic gold, is on a mission to change that. His plan? Race one of the NFL’s fastest players, Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill, and turn sprinting into must-see TV year-round. Because if people love a good 100-meter dash, they’ll really love one with extra spice.
Lyles and Hill have been trading jabs for months, and now, it’s time to settle the debate with some actual footspeed. But for Lyles, this isn’t just about flexing on the NFL—it’s about making track relevant beyond its Olympic moment. “I’m not here to play around,” he told NBC News. “I’m dead serious about this.” And just in case Hill thinks this is all fun and games, Lyles made it clear: “I’m your guy. I’m your guy who’s gonna let you swing, but best believe I will dodge and you will get hit with an uppercut.” Well, it seems Lyles is ready to cook, and if Hill isn’t careful, he might just get served.
