A lot of athletes have learned to make money through the internet rather than pursuing the traditional route of going into a professional league. iShowSpeed, for instance, has embarked on numerous sports like football, basketball, soccer, and even mixed martial arts during his worldwide streams. However, he does want to try something out and that is to see if he could beat Olympic medalist Noah Lyles in a sprint.
Look, challenging an Olympian is not a matter to take lightly. iShowSpeed has shown a lot of athletic bursts throughout the years. At one point, he even beat an Australian football star in a foot race. Then again, Noah Lyles is a very different problem.
This Team USA track star may be controversial with his world champion take but the velocity his legs run at is nuts. To win a gold medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics, he had to hit a top speed of 27.09 miles per hour in 9.79 seconds in 100-meter sprint. Despite his name, iShowSpeed does not come close to this. The most recent recording of his speed clocked in at 11 miles per hour which way below the Olympics gold medalist.
The very short answer to this is no. However, if this athletic demon with a lot of adrenaline in his body is given time, he could very well get invested in running and may be come close to Lyles' speed after more than a year of training. After all, running is not just about pure talent but it's also refining techniques. iShowSpeed can sprint fast but someone who runs for a living will always have him beat.
