Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill was unimpressed by Team USA track star Noah Lyles' win in a race against YouTuber IShowSpeed.
Lyles, who claimed the 100-meter gold medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics, won a 50-meter race against the streamer by a small margin on Wednesday.
"And track athletes think he gone beat me," Hill said, accompanied by laughing crying emojis, when quoting the video on X.
Lyles responded that he would "dance across the line on you too."
Awww feeling left out. I'll dance across the line on you too ????
Lyles sparked beef with multiple professional basketball and football players after he said in August 2023 that an NBA title does not qualify a player to call themselves a "world champion."
After Lyles won gold with a 9.79-second dash in Paris, Hill said in August that he would win in a race with the Olympic champion.
"I wouldn't beat him by a lot, but I would beat Noah Lyles," Hill told Kay Adams in August.
Lyles then told NBC News' David K. Li that he would race Hill, but only in a legitimate race scenario.
"I mean, if somebody wants to sponsor the event and we're racing for millions of dollars and it's on a track and we're running 100 meters, then sure, we can race," Lyles said in August. "But it has to be legit. I'm not here to do gimmicks.
"You're racing against a guy who has worked his whole life to get the title of 'the world's fastest man,' and you've worked to be a great football player. You can't just jump the line because you're a great football player."
Three months later, Lyles accepted the chance to race IShowSpeed over 50 meters with $100,000 on the line.
It still remains to be seen if Lyles' beef with the Dolphins receiver will lead to him racing Hill. After participating in the USA Track and Field Masters Indoor Championships last spring, Hill said on X that he was "never racing again."
