Video: Noah Lyles Says He Wouldn't Wager Olympic Gold Medal in Race vs. Tyreek Hill

Timothy RappAug 21, 2024

Miami Dolphins star Tyreek Hill and Olympic 100m gold medalist Noah Lyles have been going back and forth in the media about potentially challenging each other to a race.

It will likely be for bragging rights only, however—Lyles said Wednesday on the Dan Patrick Show that he won't be putting his gold medal on the line in such a race.

"No. What has he earned to deserve that status?" he asked Patrick (9:20 mark). "He plays football, and he's a great football player. But you don't get to jump the line just because you think you're fast. Those tons of those people out there in the world."

When asked whether he would change his mind if Hill put his Super Bowl ring on the line, Lyles said he didn't want that piece of hardware.

"I'm very content with my Olympic medals," he added.

Such an event, should it ever happen, would certainly draw ratings. It does feel like a foregone conclusion, however, that the fastest active Olympic sprinter in the world would beat a football player in Hill who—while extremely fast—hasn't truly trained in the sport for over a decade.
