Tyreek Hill Trolls Noah Lyles After Calling Off Race for 'Personal Reasons'
A race between Olympic 100-meter champion Noah Lyles and Miami Dolphins receiver Tyreek Hill that was never formally announced but supposedly taking place this weekend was called off by Lyles for "personal reasons." Lyles announced the cancelation Tuesday at Stagwell's Sport Beach event in Cannes, France. His news was captured in a video posted by the New York Post on Instagram. This postponement followed months of trash talk between the two sports stars. Lyles said in his chat at the Cannes event the showdown with Hill was going to take place in Times Square. "Unfortunately, there were some things — complications, personal reasons, that it just didn't come to pass, but we were full in," Lyles said in the video. "We were going to have a big event." Hill posted on social media a series of pictures with Lyles' face on Homer Simpson's animated character as Simpson retreated into the hedges. Hill also wrote: " @LylesNoah after seeing me run the 100m last weekend." The 31-year-old Hill ran 10.15 seconds in a race last Friday in California. He held up a sign that read: "Noah Could Never." It was in response to the 27-year-old Lyles flashing a piece of paper that said "Tyreek Could Never" after winning a 60-meter indoor race in February. Following Lyles' announcement to back out of the race, Hill piled on with more teasing comments. Lyles captured Olympic 100-meter gold in Paris last summer in a time that calculated out to 9.784 seconds. It was five-thousandths of a second faster than Kishane Thompson of Jamaica. Following Lyles' decision to opt out of the race, the two rivals will have to look for another time to decide the bragging rights and find out who's quicker. "It was going to be a lot of fun," Lyles said in the video. Reporting by The Associated Press. Want great stories delivered right to your inbox?

Noah Lyles, Tyreek Hill race canceled for ‘personal reasons'
The race of the century is officially no more — at least for the time being. Olympic gold medalist Noah Lyles will not race Miami Dolphins receiver Tyreek Hill due to 'personal reasons,' according to the New York Post, bringing to end a nearly yearlong saga of trash talk and back-and-forth. 'We were very deep into creating the event,' Lyles told reporters at the Stagwell Global Sport Beach event in Cannes, France. 'In fact, it was supposed to happen this weekend. 'Unfortunately, there were some things, complications, personal reasons that it just didn't come to pass, but we were full on. We were going to shut down New York's Times Square and everything, it was going to be a lot of fun.' Hill originally challenged Lyles to 50-yard race — just days after the sprinter had won gold in the 100 meters at the 2024 Paris Games. The eight-time Pro Bowler has long since claimed to be one of the fastest people on the planet and wanted to use a race against Lyles to prove it. 'Time to shut your mouth and take your lunch money,' Hill tweeted at Lyles in mid-February after the race was officially announced. Lyles took his fair share of jabs at Hill as well. After a victory in his fourth consecutive 60-meter indoor title in February, he turned over his race bib to reveal a handwritten message: 'Tyreek Could Never.' A two-time, high school state track champion, Hill responded Friday with a sign of his own — 'Noah Could Never' — after he ran a personal record time of 10.15 seconds during a 100-meter prelim in Sherman Oaks, California. As much as people thought the race wouldn't happen, both Lyles and Hill were adamant that it actually would take place. 'A lot of people didn't believe it to be true. They thought it was just, 'Oh, this is just them talking online',' Lyles said. 'The companies didn't believe it's real.' It's unclear whether the race will be postponed indefinitely or called off all together. Regardless, Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel is likely happy that he won't have to answer any more questions about it. 'On Thursday, he's going to be practicing football drills, and today he's practicing football drills,' McDaniel said Wednesday. 'I know for a fact he is training for football. If he wants to run in a straight line against someone and utilize football training, sweet. So I know for a fact he's not training for track. Good luck. Don't know who he's racing. I'm sure they're fast, and whether he wins or loses, I won't care.'
