Since his Olympic victory in the 100 meters last year, Noah Lyles has been able to boast the title of the fastest man in the world. But now he faces a new opponent. Football star Tyreek Hill, nicknamed "Cheetah" because of his speed, is challenging Lyles to a duel.

The dispute has been simmering for many years. Sprinters or the stars of the National Football League - who is really faster? Traditionally, Olympic or world champions in the 100 meters are referred to as the "fastest men" in the world. Some "speakers" among the NFL's running backs or receivers couldn't help but take a sideways jab, declaring themselves to be just as fast. They even had to carry a ball during the game.
