TECHNOLOGY has allowed fans to find out who would win a race featuring Team USA’s Noah Lyles and the iconic Usain Bolt.
A 3D simulation has revealed how the 2024 Paris Olympics men’s 100-meter final winner Lyles would fare against the fastest man of all time.

Lyles became the fastest man on the planet with his 9.79 second time – a personal best.
He was part of a photo finish that saw Jamaica’s Kishane Thompson claim the silver and the United States’ Fred Kerly earning the bronze.
Lyles’ achievement caused the world to wonder how the Jamaican legend Bolt would’ve competed in the world.
Last month, the YouTube account MotionAthlete made a 3D simulation of a race between the two.
The finish was pre-determined based on Lyles’ 100m time during this summer ‘s Olympics and Bolt’s world record time of 9.58, which he set in 2009.
The pair rocked their respective American and Jamaican outfits as a virtual crowd could be seen trackside in the background.
From the start, Bolt took the lead and wouldn’t look back against Lyles.
Bolt’s lead became even larger halfway through.
He finished 0.21 seconds ahead of Lyles in the supercomputer’s race – and the simulations weren’t done.
The same video displayed a simulated 200m event between Lyles and Bolt.
And the latter athlete would win again.
Towards the end of the race, Bolt even took a glance to his right only to not see Lyles as he crossed the finish line.
Bolt had done the same glance during the 2016 Rio Games.
He holds the world record time of 19.19 in the competition which took place in 2009.

Lyles had been strong in his claims that he would be the first American male in 40 years to receive the sprint double at the Olympics by winning the 100m and 200m.
And in 2023, he said he was “going to break” Bolt’s record.
However, Lyles would finish third at a 19.79 time.
He then required medical attention after the race.
It was later revealed that Lyles competed with COVID.
His time in the event was short of his personal best, which is 19.31.
