A 3D simulation has predicted what will happen when Olympic gold medalist Noah Lyles comes up against Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill in a 'winner-takes-all' race.
Later this year, Noah Lyles and Tyreek Hill will officially race each other following months of trash talk.
Back in October, it emerged that Super Serious – a company co-founded by Hollywood star Terry Crews – had received confirmation about their willingness to compete against each other.

It is said the race will be part of the Duael competition and will be scheduled before the Olympic gold medallist heads to the U.S. Championships in July. although the venue remains unknown.
So when did this beef begin? Last summer, Hill accused Lyles of feigning illness after the Florida-born sprinter finished third in the men's 200m final at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Even though three-time world champion Lyles revealed he had tested positive for COVID-19 in his post-race comments, Hill wasn't having any of it.

"Noah Lyles can't say nothing after what just happened to him," he said. "He wants to come out and pretend that he's sick... just speaking to what you know about, and that's track."
Hill went on to claim that he would beat Lyles in a race, adding: "I wouldn't beat him by a lot, but I would beat Noah Lyles."
Speaking in an interview with People on Thursday, the NFL star confirmed that the race is officially on.
"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 said. "I've been very adamant to show people what real, true speed looks like."
3D Simulation of Hill vs Lyles makes for fascinating viewing
YouTube channel MotionAthlete posted a speed comparison video of the pair, with the clip picking up almost 300,000 views at the time of writing.

As you can see from the footage below, Hill took an early lead but the Olympic champion soon caught up before recording his personal-best time of 9.78 seconds, recorded at last summer's Olympics.
Earlier this month, Lyles won his fourth consecutive 60m race at the New Balance Indoor Grand Prix and moments later, he could be seen wearing a sign with the words: "Tyreek could never."
Lyles explained his decision to make the sign to People.

"I think it speaks for itself," he began. "Everybody says that they're gonna be the world's fastest, but when it comes down to it, you gotta be the winner every time, each and every time, and every time I show up to the biggest moments, I win.
"That's why 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. 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."
