Lyles clearly throttled down in the final 10 meters and let his form get goofy for laughs, keeping the contest close despite protestations from Speed that he won.

After the race, Lyles offered Speed the chance to train with him and race again after a week, but in the 100 meters this time. That, of course, is the race where Lyles won the gold medal at the 2024 Paris Games.
