Overview

• Planned June sprint in Times Square was called off due to “complications” and “personal reasons,” Noah Lyles revealed in Cannes.
• Hill clocked a 10.15-second 100m at the Last Chance Sprint Series—his first dash since 2012—and taunted Lyles with a “Noah could never” sign.
• Analyst Colin Waitzman and sprinter Noah Williams say Hill’s raw speed could earn him a spot on the U.S. relay squad for the World Championships.
• Four-time Olympic gold medalist Michael Johnson dismisses the matchup as entertainment rather than serious competition.
• Fans and critics remain split over Hill’s unorthodox return to track and his readiness against Lyles’ Olympic-caliber form.
