His top speed surpasses Speed’s, even though Speed had the advantage with quicker reaction times in this race-an unusual occurrence, considering Noah’s reaction time is notoriously poor (as seen in the Olympics). Speed accelerated to his top speed faster, but Noah’s superior maximum velocity allowed him to win effortlessly, barely breaking a sweat.

[@duncanharvey2209]

It's simple. Noah underestimated what is clearly a quick person. That kid can clearly run near 11 second 100m pace and that's fast enough for even a sub 10 guy to need to run flat out to make the point he needed to make. Instead he rolled out of the start, put a couple of quicker steps in and then fkd around. But all ignorant people will see is the gap being "only" one metre.

[@UrbanBDKNY]

I believe they are scheduled to race in 100 later on. If he crushed this dude the 100 race would probably be cancelled. He let him be close enough to make it seem like a race but Speed is fast. More like quick. Very quick

​@mcevensbien-aime4558 Lol wowww 😂 gtf outta here. I was in the Navy bruh, I use to run 2 miles on top of doing calisthenic work outs for an hour the chances of you getting hurt while running are very slim This dude is a professional athlete, like come on now it ain't nothing to do a sprint. Ain't nobody worried about injuries, if that was the case he wouldn't race in the first place Basketball players still play basketball during the off-season and they are more likely to get hurt If you got it then you got it, yea maybe he wasn't at his best during that time but once you reach a certain level of athleticism/being in shape it shouldn't be much to race a youtube streamer But the thing people don't realize is that Speed is actually fast. I guess because he's a streamer and he's known for being funny/acting ignorant, people don't want to give him his props I can guarantee you that if Speed was to train he would definitely be able to compete

[@4purs]

Speed is fast for sure but he not a track athlete man, keep in mind 50m is way diff to 100m. Even if he trained he’d probably run an 11s 100m which looks like it’s only a couple steps behind the track and field runners but if we’re talking about competing it would be bottom for all times. He would’ve for sure made varsity but unlikely d1

[@Norruu]

Noah knew he was filming that day for MrBeast. Speed got a call and an offer 3 hours in advance when he was at home in front of a computer, then sat in a car for 3 hours, warmed up 10-15 minutes or so and then had this race. Obviously Noah is faster, but it was suprisingly close even as it was just 50m and the preparation clearly favored Noah.

[@Emmanuel-ne3oi]

Not sure what you're trying to say. If Noah and speed warmed up and ran their fastest speed isn't close

[@Norruu]

​@@Emmanuel-ne3oi I was addressing the point made in the video that the race was close because Noah wasn't properly prepared. I tried to make the point that Speed wasn't prepared either, he doesn't even know the basic technique taught for track-and-field and just got up from a 3 hour drive.

[@Emmanuel-ne3oi]

​@@Norruu that argument doesn't matter because he doesn't win either way

[@Norruu]

​@@Emmanuel-ne3oi It doesn't matter if the argument is over who runs faster. But that is not the argument, the argument highlighted on the thumbnail is "Did Speed embarrass Noah?". And yeah, you could say that it being so close is embarrassing for the olympic gold winner vs an amateur. Especially considering that the amateur doesn't know technique, put on spikes the first time, sat in the car for 3 hours before the race etc. That's what the topic is about. Now in my opinion it doesn't take anything from Noah and embarrass him, it just shows how talented Speed is.

[@ghsense2626]

Seems like an excuse. Speed exposed the fastest man in the world

[@LastOneLeftt]

Noah had the advantage, speed drove himself 3hrs n jumped str8 to the race while Noah was warmed up. Even out of season Noah is still in better track shape than a streamer and Noah only played at the end. The start was real

Rare Finnish comment

[@matthewcurlee5181]

The only way Noah would race if there was zero risk of injury or loss. He put in 50-60% effort, here, in the off- season. He didn't hammer down his arms and you see him protecting his hamstrings by not pushing for full range of motion, especially at the finish you can see this. I mean, it's as expected. Noah did the very least to win without injuring himself.

[@bunobeatz5737]

50% effort? You think he could run doubly fast? It's clear he underestimated the kid he was racing and had to try to catch back up and pass him

[@matthewcurlee5181]

@yayz9442 I am taking into consideration preparation contrasts. The kid is obviously more prepared and willing to "dethrone" Noah in the off season. Noah is doing zero. You're looking at things from a very black and white perspective.

Could Noah be that smart that he purposely just beat speed so that other celebrities challenge Noah so Noah can make more money?. Maybe Noah is being strategic lol

[@michellerowe-smith5803]

You see he wouldn’t give him a rematch. He also raced him over 50 m in an off season. Noah is not the best starter but his top end speed is unmatched. Just like Usain. You may be ahead of him at 50 meters but his top end and long strides are coming for you.

Good for him if that's what he did. It also puts more eyes on him that just showing up to a regular, lower paying meet.

Only at the end BECAUSE he only knew he would beat him only at the end by a fraction only.

I mean the thing he did at the end only takes off a few thousandths of a second while giving him an excuse for it being a close race. Usain Bolt slows down more at the end in actual Olympic races.

[@javanampofo3636]

I realised Noah’s running style makes certain races look more difficult then they should be because he’s not quick out the blocks and in the first 30m. So any one with a good amount of speed will stick with. He’s a power running he comes on strong at the end of the race especially 100m

Noah's naivety provided us with good entertainment. The clue was in the KZbinr's/streamer's name. Tyreek Hill was fully aware of the danger and ducked that challenge from Speed! Noah is the slowest starting world champion in athletics history (between him and Carl Lewis) which equated to bad optics for Noah. If the streamer had been up against a Jon Drummond, Maurice Greene/ Dennis Mitchell / Ben Johnson or even a Yohan Blake, it would have been a very different picture. The KZbinr is naturally quick, who has never trained a day in his life. This race was a win for athletics due to the increase in exposure.
