Noah Lyles Silences ‘Rematch’ Questions With IShowSpeed ​​- ‘Let’s Find Someone Faster’

Noah Lyles has firmly rejected the idea of ​​a rematch with popular streamer IShowSpeed ​​after the highly anticipated race at the Las Vegas Grand Prix. The race, initially scheduled to be 100 meters, was shortened to 50 meters at IShowSpeed’s request. The two faced off with $100,000 at stake, a sum Lyles later donated to his foundation.

While IShowSpeed ​​got off to a strong start, Lyles’ Olympic gold medal winning speed was too much for the streamer and the race ended with Lyles crossing the finish line first. Still, IShowSpeed, hoping for closer competition, initially assumed the race would end in a draw before ultimately suffering defeat. He quickly challenged Lyles to a rematch, confident he could surpass the Olympic champion.

However, Lyles has made it clear that he has no interest in a rematch. Speaking at the Las Vegas GP, Lyles answered questions about the possibility of competing in IShowSpeed ​​racing again. “I gave 20 percent of my effort in this race,” he explained. “Kudos to him for doing his best, but I’m moving on to bigger and better things. Let’s find someone faster,” Lyles said confidently, effectively closing the door on the idea of ​​another race with IShowSpeed.

Lyles also reflected on the trend of athletes from various sports challenging him to races following his success at the Paris Olympics. While he expressed his openness to future challenges, he made it clear that it would not be about the title of “fastest man in the world.” The gold medalist stressed that his success was the result of years of hard work and dedication and that others who attempt to compete against him should not expect to win this title so easily.

One challenge already looming is a race between Lyles and NFL wide receiver Tyreek Hill, which is reportedly set to take place next year. Lyles has indicated that he is open to challenges of this nature, but reiterated that this is not the case for the fastest title in the world.

While Lyles looks forward to future races, it’s clear he’s focused on more serious competitors and won’t be distracted by the spectacle of celebrity challenges. With the eyes of the world on him, Lyles continues to strive for even greater success on the track.
