Streamer iShowSpeed raced Olympic champion Noah Lyles for $100,000, and the result was pretty surprising.
Lyles is back home after winning gold in the Men’s 100-meter sprint at the 2024 Olympic Games in France earlier this year, also winning bronze in the 200-meter race despite a COVID-19 diagnosis.
Mr. Beast set up a race with Speed after the latter demanded a contest during a stream in which the former was seen hanging out with Noah.

Speed was in Miami, so he wasn’t sure he wanted to make the trip to Orlando for the race. Mr. Beast made it interesting by suggesting that $100K should be on the line.
Speed did make the trip and was warned by the sprinter, who told him that he should finish the race no matter what, given that he was expected to give up after falling behind from jump.

iShowSpeed Proved He Can Hang With Noah Lyles
As it turned out, Speed was the one who shot out of the blocks and was ahead of the Olympian until he kicked it up a notch to barely beat the influencer. Speed thought it was a tie, though.
You can check the race out in the video below:
“If that bih was 20 meters Speed woulda won😂💯,” an X user wrote in the comments.
“he had the jump on him too,” another pointed out.
“nah if speed actually trained for this he would have been 100k richer,” said a third.
“bro won a gold medal in the olympics and a streamer who barks at a camera almost beat him😭😭,” a fourth noted.
“speed a superhuman bro wtf,” someone else wrote.
“It was closer than I thought… That’s crazy,” a comment read.
“Noah dusted him when he picked up momentum, W Speed tho,” someone mused.
Hopefully, we’ll see them go at it in a rematch soon.
