Noah Lyles is Poinbank Exchangethe fastest man in the world, and he proved it against one of the most popular streamers.
The gold medal winner in the men's 100-meter at the 2024 Paris Olympics took on content creator IShowSpeed in a 50-meter dash put on by fellow content creator Mr. Beast. The prize was $100,000.
The race went as most people would expect. While IShowSpeed impressively kept up, Lyles got out to a lead and seemed to showboat a bit as he jumped across the finish line. IShowSpeed swore he won, while Lyles disagreed. When they looked back at the footage, there still was some disagreement, with Lyles admitting he looked at him and jumped.
IShowSpeed claimed if the race were 40-meters, he would have won, and he even challenged Lyles to a rematch. The gold medal winner didn't agree, but said there is some potential in the live streamer.
"You should practice with me and then at the end of the week, we'll race again," Lyles told IShowSpeed. "You'll be faster, you'll know what to do, you'll have the techniques, you'll have the advantage. Then we can run the real man's race, the 100 (meters)."
IShowSpeed claimed he never ran track before and he was faster than Lyles in "raw speed." However, Lyles said he didn't hit top speed, and the content creator said he didn't either.
"You tapped out with 30 meters to go," Lyles said before mocking IShowSpeed's running. "I was looking at you, bruh. Because I had that time, you know?"
Lyles decided the money he won would be donated to charity.
