Triple world champion Noah Lyles has explained that he is in talks with Tyreek Hill ahead of their challenge as he listed a new condition.
Triple world champion Noah Lyles has revealed that he is still in talks with Miami Dolphins star Tyreek Hill to race in a 60m dash.
In an interview with ESPN, Lyles disclosed that he would not be out to run against the NFL player in the 100m, since it would be challenging his status as the fastest man, but he is willing to try him in a shorter distance.
The reigning Olympic 100m champion added that he knows everyone is always interested in racing him due to his status but explained that his title will remain regardless of the outcome. He also touched on the detention of Hill by the police and why he defended him.

Diamond League announce historic increase in prize money since inception in 2010
Faith Kipyegon, Mary Moraa, Ferdinand Omanyala, and Co have a reason to rejoice ahead of 2025 following the historic increase in prize money by the Diamond League.
“Yeah, I mean, the two scenarios are different and one has to do with being a human and the other one has to do with sports but yeah, nobody has to go through what he went through. In terms of running, look, you have to be serious. Everybody wants to jump to the top and everybody wants to race the fastest man,” Lyles said.
“I didn’t grab this title because it’s easy or I went the easy route. You can’t take the shot at the title but I’ll let you take a shot at me. We can’t run the 100m but we can do the 60 yards. We are in talks,” he added.
The three-time world 200m champion was also over the moon to have won the 100m Olympic title after seeing Jamaicans dominate the distance for years. The last American to have won the Olympic title before Lyles was Justin Gatlin who claimed the win in the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens.
He noted that testing positive for COVID-19 changed his priorities going into the 200m. He pointed out that, however, he was not shocked since he had the symptoms before the results of the test came out.
“I remember growing up and I would see Jamaica winning all the time and when my father was running, I saw America winning and I said when it gets to my turn, I will get America to the top and it feels good to actualise my dream,” he said.
“I wasn’t shocked because I had already felt so bad and when the results came back, it was definitely like, ‘Okay, what are our options?’. We were with the doctors and they said as long as I don’t have a fever, I can still compete but after the race, they said they would quarantine me and take the right steps. They were allowing me to compete and they put me on medication and that stuff is strong but the fatigue was still there from COVID.”
