Noah Lyles, the American sprinter, has stirred controversy with his comments about being a 'world champion' and has now faced criticism from NFL player Tyreek Hill following his victory in the men's 100m sprint final at the Paris 2024 Olympics.
Lyles' victory over Jamaican sprinter Kishane Thompson by a mere five-thousandths of a second was met with mixed reactions. The sprinter had previously expressed his disdain for American sports figures, particularly in the NBA, who refer to themselves as 'world champions' after winning national league titles.
