Usain Bolt and Andre De Grasse Exchange Smiles at the Finish Line
A photograph taken during the men’s 200-m semi-finals that captured Usain Bolt and Andre De Grasse smiling at each other went viral, Time writes.
Several meters before the finish line, a Canadian athlete sped up and tried to catch up with Bolt who was running ahead of him. Running alongside each other, the athletes exchanges smiles.
A seven-time Olympic champion crossed the finish line first. His result was 19.78 seconds, a 0.02 of a second faster than De Grasse’s.
Several days ago, another photograph of Usain Bolt smiling went viral. Many media have already called it the best photograph of Rio Olympics.
