Noah Lyles and Kishane Thompson have dominated debate over who is the world's fastest man.
The debate over who holds the title of the world's fastest man has been fueled by the electrifying rivalry between Noah Lyles and Kishane Thompson.
Their clash at the 2024 Paris Olympics produced one of the most thrilling 100m finishes in recent history, setting the stage for ongoing discussions about sprinting supremacy.
Lyles and Thompson first went head-to-head in Paris, delivering a breathtaking photo finish. Both sprinters clocked an identical 9.79 seconds, but it was Lyles who edged out Thompson by mere milliseconds to claim Olympic gold.

Noah Lyles on the adjustments he has made in his training routine to obliterate Kishane Thompson & Co in 2025
Noah Lyles has revealed what he has been working on in training since narrowly edging out Kishane Thompson at Paris Olympics as he looks to obliterate him next season.
American Fred Kerley rounded out the podium, securing bronze with a time of 9.81 seconds.
With his victory on the sport’s grandest stage, Lyles cemented his claim as the fastest man in the world.
His triumph, coupled with his reigning 100m World Championship title, made it almost indisputable that he deserved the moniker.
Even before the Olympics, Lyles confidently referred to himself as the world's fastest man, and his Paris win further strengthened his argument.
However, the debate remains unresolved due to one critical factor, Kishane Thompson recorded a faster time than Lyles in 2024.

REVEALED: Why Ferdinand Omanyala has yet to commence season unlike rivals Kishane Thompson & Noah Lyles
Africa’s fastest man, Ferdinand Omanyala, has opted against taking part in a key World Athletics calendar event.
PAY ATTENTION: Stay updated with the Latest Athletics News in Kenya from Pulse Sports
At the Jamaican Olympic trials in late June, Thompson clocked a blistering 9.77 seconds, securing his place as a gold-medal contender for Paris.
His time remains the fastest recorded in 2024, outpacing Lyles' Olympic-winning mark.
Interestingly, despite his remarkable showing at the Jamaican trials, Thompson has not replicated that time, nor has Lyles surpassed it.
This raises the central question—who truly deserves the title of the world's fastest man? Is it the athlete with the season’s fastest time or the one who triumphed when it mattered most?

'It's kind of my happy place' - Kishane Thompson reveals his unexpected passion
Kishane Thompson has revealed his deep passion, calling it his "happy place," as he kicks off his 2025 season with impressive performances.
While Lyles and Thompson battle for contemporary sprinting supremacy, the title of the fastest man in history remains untouched.
That distinction belongs to Jamaican sprint legend Usain Bolt, whose world record of 9.58 seconds, set at the 2009 Berlin World Championships, has stood the test of time.
As the 2025 Tokyo World Championships approach, Bolt’s record enters its 17th year, serving as a reminder of the pinnacle of sprinting excellence.
Both Lyles and Thompson have carried their Olympic momentum into the 2025 season.

With both sprinters in peak form, the 2025 season promises to bring even more clarity—or perhaps even more controversy—to the debate over who truly holds the title of the fastest man in the world.
