The announcement has certainly caught his fanbase by surprise, with many questioning whether Speed can truly make good on his Olympic ambitions.
Nevertheless, the YouTuber appears undeterred, determined to defy the odds and earn a spot on the Olympic team in 2028.

The upcoming 2028 Summer Olympics, set to take place in Los Angeles, will be a significant challenge for IShowSpeed.
To qualify, he must secure a top-three finish at the U.S. Trials, which are known for their competitive nature. The U.S. sprinting scene is particularly strong, with several elite athletes vying for limited spots on the Olympic team.

Nevertheless, Speed's existing athleticism and his commitment to training could potentially pave the way for his Olympic aspirations.
In recent months, Speed has showcased his athletic abilities through various online challenges and races, including an impressive 6-foot jump that caught the attention of Olympian Fredrick "Flips" Richard.
