The split times for Noah Lyles and IShowSpeed's race back in November have been revealed and they are eye-opening to say the least.

Lyles, who is pushing to be the man to dethrone Usain Bolt as the fastest man on the planet, squared off against the Twitch streamer in a 50m race - with a staggering sum of $100,000 on the line.

To begin with, Speed lived up to his name with a quick start on the track but Lyles soon turned on the jets and got in front, before taking it a little easier at the end and high-stepping on the final stretch.

He claimed the six-figure fee and pledged to donate it to charity, though Speed claimed it was a draw and demanded a rematch - a request that Lyles turned down instantly.

Different camera angles showed the race was closer than expected and on Reddit, one person decided to do a comprehensive breakdown of the race.

Noah Lyles and iShowsSpeed's split times in 50m race

Lyles ran 100 metres in 9.79 to win Gold and claim a personal best at the Paris Olympics and after varying views on how seriously he took his sprint with Speed, Brian Ong used a slew of videos to crunch the data and calculate.

Including Lyles' splits from his Olympics heroics, Ong estimated that Lyles had a time of 5.87 seconds - with a max velocity of 24.31mph in the 50 metres - with Speed coming in at 5.94 seconds and with a max velocity of 23.30.

Although he acknowledged difficulties in preparing the analysis that might mean some times are slightly off, Ong worked concluded that Lyles "definitely underestimated" Speed and had a slower start.

Ong wrote that Lyles "hit an extra gear to catch Speed right around 22m" and then took control - running with ease before his antics near the end.

IShowSpeed won four races in a row against rival

Speed, who has expressed his interest in competing at the Olympics, recently faced off against former Liverpool defender and CBS pundit Jamie Carragher prior to the Champions League final.

But he also went up against viral fitness star Ashton Hall, a former American football running back who has become known for his unusual morning routine on TikTok.

And Speed dominated throughout, beating him FOUR times in a row and forcing Hall to admit that he lost "fair and square".

"You win some, you lose some," he said.

"He beat me fair and square... and I did ask to run it back. That's what I'm always gonna do.

"Turns out bro beat me clearly four times... fair and square.

Advert

"First time, I slipped. Second time, he clearly beat me. And I said, 'bro run it back'. And he ran it back. The third time was a tie. The fact that he beat me the fourth time, I'll give it to him."
