On “Tyreek Hill says he’ll beat Noah Lyles in a race. ”
Coleman ran a 4.12... Best starter ever and WR holder in the 60m. If he can't, then no one can.

On “Is Usain Bolt just a genetic anomaly?”
They train for speed and they ARE that much faster. Their sport is literally "run fast" of course they can run fast.

This is a full tenth of a second faster than anyone in the NFL has run a 40 in the combine.
Other sports of course have other considerations, like actual skill at their sport, which at minimum takes time to develop, but arguing they aren't faster is insulting to track athletes.
