Kai Cenat had a priceless reaction after watching streamer iShowSpeed take on US sprinter Noah Lyles in a race.

Lyles was one of the stars at the Olympics in Paris, winning a Gold medal after an enthralling 100m final.

In one of the tightest races in the history, Lyles beat Jamaica's Kishane Thompson by just 0.005 seconds at the Stade De France.

He also collected a bronze medal in the 200m final, Letsile Tebogo and Kenneth Bednarek despite running after testing positive for COVID-19.

And this week, Lyles' latest test saw him take on Speed in a sprint race and it certainly did not disappoint.

The 19-year-old, real name Darren Watkins, recently had a kickabout with Juventus and France star Paul Pogba on his stream but he fared much better on the track.

Being a top Olympic athlete, Lyles was of course the clear favourite but Speed somehow wasn't too far behind him as they crossed the finish line.

In fact, the race was so close that fellow streamer Cenat was left in disbelief at Speed's performance and even commented, "No cap, he had him" as he watched.


Having lived up to his name by turning on the jets, Speed claimed that the race was in fact a draw, while Lyles stressed that he took his foot off the gas and started high-stepping when he took the lead.

The two competed for $100,000 in prize money, though Lyles confirmed he would be giving it away to charity.

Speed's showing was seriously impressive, particularly as Lyles has ambitions to usurp the legendary Usain Bolt and become the fastest man in the world.

"I'm trying to get it done as soon as possible," he stated in regards to recording a faster time than Bolt, as per Bleacher Report.

"Unfortunately I don't have a crystal ball, so I can't give you an exact date. But as athletes we're always looking to improve ourselves, and we're always looking for greater challenges. I think everyone sees the world record as No. 1, that's incredible and No. 2, I want that to be me."
