Hill, who is considered the fastest player in the NFL, previously claimed that he would beat Lyles in a 50-yard race while Lyles responded by offering Hill to face him in a 100m race. The two continued to exchange verbal jabs before finally deciding to settle the score.

Hill and Lyles announced their intention to race earlier this week in a joint interview with People magazine. The two still haven’t settled on the distance or the location of the race. However, the event will likely take place before USATF Championships in July, where Lyles is set to compete.

“This has been an ongoing thing for quite some time now, and I mean, everybody’s seen the back and forth on social media,” Hill told People. “I’ve been very adamant to show people what real, true speed looks like.”

“I’m the world’s fastest. I did at the Olympics. I do it at world championships. I do it wherever it’s needed to be done,” said Lyles. “And if I gotta go down and, you know, beat up on Tyreek to prove that I’m the world’s fastest, then it’s gonna be done.”

Lyles has three Olympic medals on his resume, including gold at 100m at the Paris Olympics and two bronze medals at 200m in 2020 and 2024. He also has six gold medals and one silver medal from World Championships.

Hill excelled in track and field in high school and college before deciding to turn his focus to football. His most recent track and field was at the USA Track & Field Masters Indoor Championships in 2023, where he won the 60-meter dash.

Regan Smith, Lilly King, Gretchen Walsh, and Torri Huske finished the 4×100-meter medley relay at 3:49.63, breaking the previous record of 3:37.58 set by Great Britain at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. The U.S. women were also more than three seconds faster than Australia, which came in second.

This was the eighth golden medal for Team USA in swimming at the 2024 Paris Olympics, propelling them to the top of the charts after the swimming events concluded. Overall, U.S. swimmers won a total of 28 medals, 10 more than second-placed Australia.

Entering the medley relay, Team USA and Australia were tied with seven gold medals apiece in swimming, giving another competitive edge to the event.

“It matters because we like to win. But we’re just here to race and do what we do best,” King said after the event.

U.S. men, on the other hand, delivered a disappointing medley relay performance that saw them finish with a silver medal behind gold medal winners China. This was the first and only time in Olympic history that U.S. men didn’t win the gold in the event, excluding the 1980 Olympics, which the United States boycotted.
