Why are they Competing?
The pair have playfully sparred and a social-media rivalry has been created between the pair as a result. Fans have enjoyed the back-and-forth and we may now finally get to witness the pair go head-to-head. Following his victory at the New Balance Grand Prix, Lyles held up a sign saying ‘Tyreek Could Never’. The pair has subsequently spoken on the phone and they are adamant that the race WILL happen.
A date has yet to be set for the race, however, the early suggestions are that it may be scheduled for later this summer.
Neither competitor is likely to back down with Hill suggesting that Lyles ‘should be scared of him’.
From Lyles’ perspective, he is hoping that this unusual battle between the pair would bring more coverage to his sport outside of the major events. He is hoping to keep track and field sports relevant and attract a new, and potentially younger audience to Athletics.
