'It has to be legit' - Noah Lyles sets condition for showdown against NFL star Tyreek Hill
Olympics 100m champion Noah Lyles has given a hint that he could race against NFL star Tyreek Hill but on his own terms.
After a minutes-long deliberation, it was confirmed that Lyles' torso crossed the finish line first by five-thousandths of a second. Once his incredible victory was announced, Lyles ran to the stands to celebrate with his family, including his girlfriend Junelle Bromfield, a fellow sprinter for Team Jamaica.
Lyles' feat at the quadrennial show came after he learnt his lesson the hard way in the delayed Tokyo Olympic Games when he was forced to battle depression. Working alongside therapists in Paris, his need for space, the six-time world champion was granted his wish to seclude himself from others in order to fully focus on the 100m title.
His concentration and seclusion was helped by the fact that he was only allowed to eat at ‘very random times’ alongside girlfriend Junelle Bromfield according to TalkSport. During this time, Junelle would encourage her fiancee to believe in his abilities and that the title was his to lose going by his preparation.
