Scared Noah Lyles dodges Tyreek Hill

Did you see Olympic Champion Marcell Jackobs’ race today? Did you see Sha’carri’s race two weeks ago? it’s a shame what lull can do to the legs. I’m not convinced Noah would have won or won convincingly. which is why I think he cancelled.

I don’t follow closely, but which one is Lyle?

Those two have zero to do with Noah Lyles.

2025 is all about winning the World Title, messing around with a football player really makes no sense at all.

No different than telling Hill .....ok lets race....a day before the season opener for the Dolphins.

If this were an off year, ok now it makes sense.

Personal Reasons = Noah personally doesn’t like to lose!

Ok 50 meters would be a different story and probably a lot closer. Lyles is not known for his start.

Thinking of the recent 100 meters and that 10.15 time the baller held up on a piece of paper. He runs his high school PR time and boasts about it to an Olympic champion and everyone. That is just delusional :-)

The general public doesn't know the difference. It's not even in the same league. And you get these weirdos like him and IShowSpeed going around trying to convince everyone they can beat an Olympic Champion.

Oof. It’s rare that I am embarrassed to be known as a track and field fan, but the Grand Slam debacle and now this weak sauce certainly have done that.

Last year Noah was all about promoting his brand outside the sport, so for him to do this just looks really bad. Coming right after Tyreek's surprisingly good 100m, it does look like Noah is afraid.

For someone who called himself "it's science" isn't even as smart as Greta Thunberg, and that's a very low bar to set.

malmo you're still dweebing it up here after 20 years. it's a throwaway name doesn't correspond to the message. you honestly think 30 meters is not an exaggeration.. i should not be surprised by you.

All that is b.s. If you actually want to grow your sport, you can't be backing out of cross-sport showdown events. Lyles is a great sprinter, but he's just too much of a egotistical weirdo to be the face of the sport. He's done a lot of damage to T&F in the past year. It makes me appreciate Usain Bolt's reign all the more. We'll be better off when Lyles fades into the background.

It's a lose-lose situation for Lyles. If he beats Hill, everyone will say "Well duh, that's what was supposed to happen!" If he somehow loses, his stock plummets permanently... like probably over a million dollars of damage.

Even if he beats Hill running something like 9.85 against Hill's 10.05, most NFL fans will be like "Wow, that was so close! Noah Lyles sucks, Tyreek Hill rules!"

If I am Lyles, I am not racing Hill for less than 2 million dollars. If Hill really wants to race Lyles, he can get himself into the US Trials where Lyles can't duck him.

I disagree. If he beats Hill by .2+ it’s great for him. But he loses when he doesn’t just say he’s too injured to race him. Comical misfire by Noah.

Lyles perhaps has been off the juice and training not going well, so that could indicate he's in 10.0 shape and scared to lose to Hill after seeing Hill's 10.15 in good conditions. Remember when Shacarri ran over 11 seconds in a couple early/late season races? OFF THE JUICE.

Prove it!!!

10.15 is 30m behind Noah Lyles 9.79? Baltimore public schools or Harvard PHD in Gender Studies?

He wouldn't be more than 4m behind Lyles, 5m in full pads and helmet with a football tucked under his arm. You are really, really bad at math.

"Stay anonymous, my friend. You are the worst scientist in the world."

Really bad look for lyles, and no way to sugarcoat it.

Previous poster was right, racing hill was a lose-lose proposition from the start, unless there was a significant financial benefit for lyles. The timing of backing out now has to be linked to hills performance and what condition lyles is in currently.

Id like to see if hill could qualify for USAs and run there. At least we would get a hill vs. everyone else matchup.
